The desire to express the exceptional qualities of these unique places has been at the heart of Orma’s philosophy from the very beginning. Orma’s Aola is a Cabernet Franc with a small addition of Cabernet Sauvignon, a faithful expression of a unique terroir that has always been in harmony with nature. We chose to produce Aola, with the first 2020 vintage, to highlight the extraordinary potential of a parcel north of the Bolgheri road. The soil is particularly suited for Cab franc: the roots of this parcel make their way through a layer of clay, dating back millions of years. In what was once a seafloor, traces, mineral and fossil, of a past life can now be found. This allows us to investigate even deeper the secrets held within this terroir. Facing southwest on a mineral soil composed mainly of clay and gravel, with a small part of sand. The plot is extremely bright, benefiting from sea breezes that promote ideal ripening of the grapes, which give the wine less herbaceous notes. To complete, the small addition of Cabernet Sauvignon, increases the aromatic and gustatory
complexity.
