It is one of the most famous Super Tuscan wines and is made by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia. The wine is known for its aromatic complexity, opulent fruit and tannic structure, and is consistently regarded as one of the top wines in the world with auction prices to match. It is classified as IGT Toscana.The 6.6-hectare (16.3-acre) site, a former clay quarry, was identified by famed American enologist André Tchelistcheff as having great potential for Merlot. This is due to its high content of compact clay, particularly in the central portion, with more pebble- and sand-based soils in the upper and lower portions.The vineyard is managed in small plots and, despite its modest size, the harvest can take up to a month. The wines were initially produced in an old farmhouse although in 2019 a newly designed, underground winery was unveiled to the press.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-10T16:16:29-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-05T10:18:42-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","MK0501","other_italian wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Tenuta dell' Ornellaia","Region_Tuscany","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Merlot"],"price":249999,"price_min":249999,"price_max":249999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42665853386890,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"1998 | Tenuta dell' Ornellaia | Masseto","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":249999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_24a58f94-9a31-46ff-83ff-a840b213a435.png?v=1672932015"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_24a58f94-9a31-46ff-83ff-a840b213a435.png?v=1672932015","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"1998 | Tenuta dell' Ornellaia | Masseto at CaskCartel.com","id":23914289692810,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.397,"height":928,"width":368,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_24a58f94-9a31-46ff-83ff-a840b213a435.png?v=1672932015"},"aspect_ratio":0.397,"height":928,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/74_24a58f94-9a31-46ff-83ff-a840b213a435.png?v=1672932015","width":368}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 1998 | Tenuta dell' Ornellaia | Masseto\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark color, with intense aromas of green and black olives and rich, ripe raspberries.
