Description
Style of wine
Passi di Orma by Podere Orma is a still Tuscan red wine with an elegant and structured profile. Crafted from a careful blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, this wine belongs to the prestigious Bolgheri appellation. It is smooth, balanced and precise on the palate, supported by an excellent tannic structure that defines its character. Its characteristics reflect meticulous vinification in steel and ageing in French oak barrels, offering an enveloping and authentic expression of the terroir.
Origin
The grapes come from the renowned Bolgheri area, a Tuscan territory famous for its strong wine-growing vocation. In this area, the minerality of the soils blends harmoniously with the local microclimate, providing the ideal environment for cultivating international grape varieties. The vines, grown using the spurred cordon system, have an average age of fifteen years and ensure balanced yields. Created as a project to reveal the pure essence of the land, this vineyard fully expresses the elegance and power typical of this prestigious zone.
Production process
Vinification begins with fermentation and maceration lasting eighteen days, conducted within stainless steel tanks at a strictly controlled temperature. This is followed by six months of maturation in French oak barrels, a fundamental step to enrich the wine with spicy notes of roasted coffee and liquorice, which sit alongside aromas of blackberry and blueberry. Every single stage of the production process aims to precisely enhance the primary qualities of the raw material.
History and curiosities
Passi di Orma represents the latest addition to the wines of the Podere Orma estate, a project that was launched with its first vintage in 2015. The roots of this label lie in fifteen-year-old vines, expertly trained using the spurred cordon system. A fascinating detail that embellishes the bottle is the circular emblem with a stylised key on the label, a symbol of the desire to reveal the vocation of the Bolgheri terroir. This label celebrates the union between Tuscan minerality and international grape varieties.

Orma is located on the Bolgherese Provincial Road, a Wine Road, just a short distance from the most historic vineyards in the area. The heart of the Bolgheri DOC appellation, with Ornellaia on the right and Sassicaia to the left. It is indeed the area most suited to vine cultivation: north of Via Bolgherese, where rocky, clay-rich soils prevail over the sandier soils found nearer to the sea. The area enjoys a favorable combination of climate, soil, and grape varieties, which make it an "ecological-climatic niche." Read more
