Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"ORMA was established in 2005 with the acquisition of the property of the same name in Bolgheri, famous for its majestic tree-lined boulevard, so dear to Giuseppe Carducci. The wine-growing area is of great depth, due to its red, pebbly soils, constant ventilation from the sea and intense light. Surrounding woods and hills, create an ideal microclimate for viticulture, with the peculiarity of enhancing night/day temperature ranges. The vineyards are located in soils from marine stratifications and are particularly rich in minerals. The combination of climate, soil and human labor consecrate Bolgheri as a great terroir for wines of remarkable finesse and elegance. ORMA is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, grown on the 7.5 hectares of the property. The elegance of the Merlot, the structure of the Cabernet Sauvignon and the finesse of the Cabernet Franc, find a harmonious fusion thanks to the skillful use of barrique. Elegant and sumptuous, able to best tell the story of the territory and its potential, it best expresses the Moretti Cuseri family’s imprint on an area of wine-making excellence. Orma is a wine refined in its exuberance, which perfectly photographs the territory of Bolgheri, the oenological jewel of the Maremma.

95 Points - Wine Advocate
"A blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Orma opens to a soothing display of ripe fruit with blackberry, candied cherry, spice, white pepper and even a speck of red chili flake. The mouthfeel is round and soft with a pop of sour cherry. The vineyards are planted in soils rich in pebbles and clay with a little sand at 60 meters above sea level. Some 34,000 bottles were produced." -ML, 7/29/22
