In the glass, the 2019 DVO boasts a dense ruby red. On the nose it is complex and expressive, with aromas of red- and blackcurrants, dark plums and cassis, and notes of dried herbs mixed with gingerbread spices in the background. On the palate it is dense and well-balanced, with velvety, fine-grained tannins and a long-lasting, aromatic finish. A truly great wine!

Details
Tradition unites families and helps shape values. It forms the foundation of the philosophies of the Napa Valley’s Dalla Valle and of Tuscany’s Ornellaia. They create soulful wines through their deep understanding of process and terroir. DVO brings together Tuscany and the Napa Valley, combining Old World elegance and New World freedom, with magical results.
Recommendations
Pairs especially well with beef and lamb. Try it with juicy herb-crusted lamb chops or grilled steak.
Vinification
The 2019 DVO was produced in California’s Napa Valley from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The vines were planted during a cool winter and a mild spring, which gave them energy for ripening in autumn. After harvest, the selected grapes were gently crushed or left whole, then transferred to barrels for maceration. Primary fermentation occurred in wooden vats. The wine was then matured for 22 months in new French barriques.
