Podere Orma | Sette Ponti

Deep ruby red. Clearly defined bouquet with beautiful herbal spice. In the glass then a deep dark fruit and a very round body, fine acid play and polished tannin. A classic representative of the noble appellation Bolgheri with an extremely harmonious overall impression. SUPERIORE.DE

"Warm bouquet of blackberries and chocolate; the tannins are polished, full-bodied, racy and supple. To saddle of venison with mushrooms." Vinum

"There is lots of bright cherry fruit and bright intensity in the 2017 Bolgheri Rosso Passi di Orma. Its bold and ripe primary fruit is very enjoyable, if simple, but then the wine unfolds with charm. This is a blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc. It sees a brief six months in French barrique. You get loads of richness and dark fruit, packaged with slightly less formal appeal." Robert Parker

"The 2017 Passi di Orma is a lovely second wine from Orma. Sweet red cherry, mint, blood orange and pomegranate are all pushed forward. Silky and pliant, with lovely fruit purity, this radiant, juicy Maremma red is absolutely delicious. It should drink well for at least another handful of years." VINOUS

"A little loosely knitted right now, but it shows freshness and brightness. Medium to full body with firm tannins." James Suckling

Strong ruby red. Clearly defined bouquet with beautiful herbal spice. In the glass then a deep dark fruit and a very round body, fine acidity and polished tannin. A classic representative of the noble Bolgheri appellation with a very harmonious overall impression. Absolutely aerate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Yum. A rich, dense red with currant, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied and tannic, yet polished. Direct finish. This needs time to soften. Second wine of Orma. Better after 2022." James Suckling

Deep ruby red, intense scent of dark fruit underlaid with delicate roasted aromas. Complex and full-bodied on the palate, full-bodied, with balsamic notes, perfectly integrated tannins and a finely balanced fruity-spicy finish. It is an intense wine that does not want to be a lightweight either, and that plays out its power perfectly. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark purple; opulent floral notes of macchia and menthol, wild strawberries and chocolate; robust on the palate, the tannins powerful, smooth course with a persistent finish to notes of maraschino cherries and leather. A seducer." Vinum

"Aromas of blueberries, blackberries, chocolate and hazelnuts follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Tight and focused right now. Needs three or four years to soften." James Suckling

"The 2016 Orma is laced with the essence of black cherry, smoke, licorice, spice and dark chocolate. Medium in body and persistent, with striking poise, Orma is absolutely gorgeous in 2016. All the elements simply fall into place effortlessly. Deceptively in its mid-weight feel, the 2016 offers striking persistence and tons of class." VINOUS

"Brooding and dark, with a nicely compact core, the 2016 Orma shows generous concentration and good density at the back. The mouthfeel is rich and thickly textured. The wine produces notes of green olive, black olive, caper and smoke. The blend here is 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. This is a powerful wine with 15% alcohol that underlines its potency." Robert Parker
