Ornellaia estate

Ornellaia is part of the elite of Italian wine and is known throughout the world as a symbolic name of Made in Italy production. Tenuta dell'Ornellaia was founded quite recently, in 1982, but since day one it has set itself a precise goal: excellence. The winery was born from a great intuition of Ludovico Antinori, who in the early 80s planted the first vineyards with Bordeaux vines in his land owned in Bolgheri. Today, after a very successful path, the leadership of the cellar has passed to the Tuscan group Frescobaldi.

The story of Ornellaia is the story of a rather wild slice of Tuscany transformed into one of the cradles of Italian wine. The Bolgheri area is in fact dotted with cypresses and migratory birds, feeling the influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea, without however ever forgetting its bond with the earth: a splendid reality that knows how to convey harmony and refinement even to its wines, thanks to a unique microclimate which gives elegance and value to every breeze. Finally, in the Ornellaia vineyards nothing is left to chance and each vineyard is identified on the basis of its potential and final destination, with methods and measures that are always attentive to the sustainability of the territory.

The wines produced by Ornellaia are real works of art, so much so that for each new vintage an internationally renowned artist signs a series of 111 large-format bottles from the cellar. Many of his bottles, such as the Bolgheri Rosso Ornellaia, are real cults of world enology. Products truly tending to perfection, sensual and elegant, always present in the most exclusive tables on the planet, confirming that they are among the best expressions of Italian winemaking excellence.
