The elegance of a great Italian red wine by Orma

The estate
Founded in 2004 by Antonio Moretti Cuseri, the Orma estate quickly established itself as a benchmark reference on the Tuscan coast. Located in the heart of the prestigious Bolgheri region, this discreet property spans a vineyard of 5.5 to 7.5 hectares, nestled among illustrious neighbours. Driven by the desire to leave a unique mark, the Moretti Cuseri family has successfully brought this label to the very top, producing wines of great precision that reflect all the excellence and richness of this exceptional terroir.

The vineyard
Ideally located north of the famous wine route, this terroir in Tuscany benefits from an exceptional microclimate influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines grow at low altitude on soils of marine origin, composed of clay, gravel and a little sand. This soil structure ensures optimal drainage while retaining an essential water reserve. Sea breezes and the alternation of daytime and night-time temperatures encourage the slow, perfect ripening of the grapes, cultivated with respect for the environment.

Winemaking and ageing
The grapes destined for Orma 2024 undergo meticulous winemaking. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 26 and 28°C, accompanied by skin maceration of around twenty-one days for optimal, controlled extraction. The wine then benefits from careful ageing for twelve months in French oak barrels, some of them new, before resting for a further year in bottle to perfect its harmony prior to release.
