    There are wines that tell stories even before you've tasted them. This is one of them. Its name – the Hill of the Magpies – refers to that special vineyard where these elegant birds build their nests and from where the view sweeps unobstructed across the Tyrrhenian Sea. Here, where the salty Mediterranean breeze meets volcanic soil, one of Tuscany's most innovative white wines has been produced for more than two decades. It embodies a refreshing spirit which, to quote: "is as delicate as a breeze, yet at the same time lush and self-assured". This poetic description hits the nail on the head: Poggio alle Gazze is Ornellaia's answer to the question of what a white wine from Bolgheri might be like if it possessed the elegance and depth of the great reds. Six months' ageing on the fine lees with regular bâtonnage, followed by the assembly of the final blend and a further 12 months' bottle ageing, complete this masterpiece of white winemaking.

    In the glass, it glows with an intense straw-yellow colour. The nose immediately reveals its full seductive power: passion fruit and spices define this crisp, lively wine. Grapefruit, white peach and passion fruit blend with a hint of fresh almonds and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the full complexity is revealed: generous and refreshing at the same time, with a mineral salinity reminiscent of the nearby coast and a long-lasting, spicy final. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The 2024 Poggio alle Gazze is light, lively and elegant. Aromas of lemon zest, sage, chalk, mint and white pepper unfold initially, followed by crisp, mouth-watering acidity that is quite pronounced. This is a particularly austere vintage for the Poggio alle Gazze. I would give it some time in the bottle." Vinous

    "Earthy aromas give way to notes of freshly mown grass, pine and lychee, which blend harmoniously into a juicy texture, with delicate intensity and length. The earthy aromas dissipate when exposed to air, so it is best to open the bottle a little earlier or decant it. Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, Viognier and Verdicchio." Wine Spectator

    "Grassy and herbal with soft citrus aspects. Juicy and nicely fragrant, there's some baked lemon patisserie elements, caramel and baked pears. This has some weight to the texture with an enjoyable salty finish." Decanter
