TASTING NOTES
Obizzo is a wine made from Vermentino grapes grown in Bolgheri (LI), a coastal area on the Tyrrhenian Sea with sandy and loamy soils. The harvest of Vermentino Obizzo in Bolgheri in 2023 was particularly favoured by optimal climatic conditions, with moderate temperatures and well-distributed rainfall contributing to an even ripening of the grapes, resulting in a high-quality harvest. The Vermentino grapes were harvested at the optimal ripeness stage, resulting in the production of fresh, aromatic and well-balanced wines. Overall, the Vermentino Bianco harvest in Bolgheri in 2023 was considered very positive and promises high-quality wines. The harvest takes place in September, when the grapes are fully ripe. The selected grapes are then taken to the cellar for vinification. After pressing, the must is statically decanted at a temperature of 10°C and fermented with selected yeasts at a temperature of 18-20°C. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete and racking has been carried out, the wine is left to mature for 5 months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled. The wine has a light straw yellow colour and the nose presents aromas of white flowers, lime curd, cream and barley. The wine is medium-bodied, with a creamy, structured palate and a round, smooth finish.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME Obizzo was a blond character in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.

Of ancient and noble origins, the Donna Olimpia 1898 estate was baptized in the same year in honor of Olimpia Alliata, Lady of Biserno and wife of Gherardo della Gherardesca on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their wedding. Located in the heart of Bolgheri , in the province of Livorno, spread over 60 hectares, 45 of which are new vineyards planted following a study on clones and rootstocks. The vines planted are obviously those whose vocation has been widely demonstrated: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot; for white wines, on the other hand, Vermentino, Viognier and Petit Manseng. Gifts of a unique territory, Donna Olimpia 1898's wines are characterized by their minerality, harmonic structure and intrinsic elegance. The estate boasts a modern cellar of 5000 square meters, designed to maximize energy savings and minimize environmental impact. It is equipped with the best available production technology, but still the aging in wood takes place in French oak barriques, so traditional. The barrel room is certainly the most important and evocative environment of the entire wine estate.
