A blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, the Orma 2019 Bolgheri Rosso Passi di Orma opens to dark fruit and hints of mild, but perhaps premature, evolution. There are dried fruits, leather, tar and cured tobacco. This is a medium-bodied and open-knit wine that is best consumed in the near or medium term with a simple plate of grilled meats. There is a fresh note of acidity on the close. Production is 30,000 bottles.

A blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, the Orma 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Passi di Orma opens to dark and rich fruit with blackberry, plum and sweet prune.

This entry-level Tuscan blend, with 15,000 bottles made, captures a flashy and more contemporary side of the Bolgheri wine identity, showing enough power, intensity and opulence to match up with your favorite cut of steak.
