The Oreno was released in 1999, thanks to Dr. Antonio Moretti Cuseri, a great wine lover, who, during his frequent travels, was struck by the elegance and finesse of Bordeaux grape varieties - so much that he decided to plant these varieties on the estate.
The name, in fact, comes from a stream which crosses the estate, just in the area rich of clay where the Merlot vines grow; while in the soils with a greater presence of pebbles, which ensure a perfect drainage and perform a self-regulating function of temperature and humidity, Cabernet Sauvignon finds its natural collocation. The perfect complement to the blend is Petit Verdot, traditionally used as a carrier of spicy notes and intensity of flavour. The result is a wine inspired by the Bordeaux style but with a strong Tuscan imprint.
Drinking window: 2026 - 2038
What the critics say:
"An incredibly compelling and inspiring wine with a flawless aromatic complexity- a nose full of strawberries, violets, roses -beautiful scents that put you squarely in Tuscany, A scintillating texture follows on the palate, thrilling with such liveliness, energy and poise. Finessed, but completely characterful, the tannins gliding the fruit flavours seamlessly from start tofinish with such sleek, effortless forward motion. Layered and pixelated, it's intense in its complexity but graceful with freshness throughout."
"There’s a purity and beauty to this that impresses you the minute you put your nose in the glass. So aromatic. Flowers, graphite, blackcurrants and hints of gunmetal. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that coat your mouth but give a feeling of fine cashmere. The length and intensity is calm but rather endless. 45% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon,10% cabernet franc and 5% petite verdot. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2028."
