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 on the Tuscan coast. Located in the heart of the prestigious Bolgheri region, this confidential property encompasses 5.5 to 7.5 hectares of vineyards, nestled among illustrious neighbours. Driven by the desire to leave a unique mark, the Moretti Cuseri family has raised 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 situated north of the famous wine road, this Toscana terroir enjoys 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 contrast between day and night temperatures promote slow, perfect ripening of the berries, which are grown with respect for the environment.

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