Description
Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, located in beautiful Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, is synonymous with excellence and prestige in the international wine scene. For decades, Ornellaia has been a symbol of refinement, elegance and innovation, capable of combining Tuscan tradition with a modern, cosmopolitan style.
Tenuta dell’Ornellaia’s vineyards stretch between the rolling hills of Bolgheri and the Tyrrhenian Sea. This unique terroir combines rich and diverse soils, ranging from clays and sands to well-drained gravels, with an ideal microclimate characterized by sea winds and excellent sun exposure.
These extraordinary conditions allow the cultivation of international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, which find a unique and distinctive expression here.
Founded in 1981 by Marquis Lodovico Antinori, Ornellaia has quickly established itself as one of Tuscany’s most prestigious estates. The vision behind the estate is to create wines capable of expressing the identity of the terroir to the fullest, combining tradition, innovation and extreme care at every stage of production.
Every detail, from the choice of soils to manual harvesting, is aimed at ensuring the highest quality and creating wines of great complexity and elegance.
Tenuta dell’Ornellaia stands out for its commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment. Agronomic practices aim to preserve the natural balance of the land, using modern and sustainable techniques to minimize environmental impact.
Every production choice is guided by the pursuit of excellence and the goal of ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy this unique heritage.
Every year, Ornellaia celebrates the fusion of art and wine with the Vendemmia d’Artista project. Internationally renowned artists reinterpret the vintage by creating special works and labels for some limited edition bottles. This initiative emphasizes the idea that each vintage is a unique work of art.
