History of Ornellaia

The story of Ornellaia begins in 1981, when Marchese Lodovico Antinori founded the estate on the hills of Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast. Inspired by the success of neighbouring Sassicaia, he planted Bordeaux varieties — cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc — on ancient seabeds bathed by sea breezes. The first vintage, released in 1985, swiftly generated international enthusiasm and elevated the estate to the ranks of Italy's greatest wines.

In the late 1990s, Robert Mondavi brought his expertise and reinforced the wine's presence on American markets. It was also on the estate that the legendary Masseto was born, since become an independent property. In 2005, the Frescobaldi family, whose winemaking tradition stretches back more than seven centuries, became the sole owner of Ornellaia. Under their stewardship, the estate combines the pursuit of perfection, contemporary art and a sustainable approach, cementing its status as a global icon.

Terroirs and Vineyards of Ornellaia

The estate extends over around one hundred hectares approximately two kilometres from the sea, of which some seventy-five hectares of vines are planted on elevated hillsides around the village of Bolgheri. The soils, of great diversity, combine clay, gravel and silt of marine, alluvial and volcanic origin, offering a mosaic of plots with distinct personalities, such as Bellaria, Pero and Vigna Vecchia.

The proximity of the Tyrrhenian Sea plays an essential role, as the light reflected off the water and an exceptional microclimate temper the summer heat while protecting the vines from the harshest winds. This Mediterranean environment lends the wines their sunny character and elegance. The estate cultivates Bordeaux varieties for the reds, as well as sauvignon, vermentino, verdicchio and petit manseng for the whites, in an approach respectful of the environment and of the preservation of centuries-old olive trees.

Winemaking at Ornellaia

Winemaking at Ornellaia is rooted in a philosophy of uncompromising quality and extreme attention to detail. Each plot and each variety is vinified separately in order to preserve its identity, before the final blend that reveals the sought-after complexity and harmony. The grand vin is aged for approximately eighteen months in French oak barrels, including a significant proportion of new casks from different cooperages and levels of toasting to preserve finesse.

Additional bottle ageing precedes release, ensuring powerful, refined wines built for cellaring over several decades. The second wines follow the same rigorous approach while being more approachable in their youth, while the whites are vinified to preserve their freshness, tension and aromatic finesse. The estate is also known for its artistic project, the Vendemmia d'Artista, which entrusts the presentation of certain exceptional vintages to a contemporary artist.

The cuvées of Ornellaia

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore: the estate's emblem, a blend dominated by cabernet sauvignon and merlot, complemented by cabernet franc and petit verdot. Deep purple colour, a broad and balanced nose of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, graphite and cedar, a rich and silky palate carried by fine tannins, a hint of iodine and a long mineral finish, with superb ageing potential.

Ornellaia Vendemmia d'Artista: a special edition of the grand vin, produced in vintages deemed exceptional and dressed by a contemporary artist. The same outstanding wine, in a particularly sought-after collector's presentation.

Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia: the estate's second wine, created in 1997 and classified as Bolgheri Rosso. A merlot-dominant blend, complemented by cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot, elegant and complex, more approachable in its youth while still possessing fine ageing potential.

Le Volte dell'Ornellaia: the entry-level cuvée in Toscana IGT, a blend of merlot, sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. Generous, fruity and harmonious, it offers a convivial and approachable introduction to the estate's style.

Ornellaia Bianco: the estate's great white wine, based primarily on sauvignon, rare and highly sought-after. Rich and complex, it displays great aromatic finesse, depth and a fine capacity for ageing.

Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia: the estate's historic white, predominantly composed of sauvignon with a touch of vermentino and verdicchio from small plots on the Tuscan coast. Fresh and elegant, it captivates with its finesse and vivacity.

Ornus dell'Ornellaia: a rare dessert wine crafted from late-harvested petit manseng, sourced from the small Palmetta plot. Produced in extremely limited quantities and only in the finest years, it adds an extra dimension to the range.

Grappa di Ornellaia: a marc brandy sourced from the estate's grapes, produced notably in a Riserva Eligo version, which elegantly extends the art of living and the know-how of Ornellaia.
