Tenuta dell’Ornellaia
Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is one of the world’s most exciting winery, this prestigious winery was founded by Lodovico Antinori. He began as a winemaker in California, but returned to his native homeland in 1981.
Antinori began creating his wines in the Super-Tuscan, released the first vintage of his flagship wine, Ornellaia, in 1985. The wines were catapulted into worldwide fame in very little time, and Antinori found further success in the launch of Masseto, a single-vineyard pure Merlot wine. In 1997, a second wine was introduced in Bordeaux-fashion and the quality of Ornellaia was boosted to such a degree that Decanter made it their ‘Wine of the Year’ the following year.
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is a 91-hectare domaine and is planted with typical Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot). In a very short time, the premium domaine has risen to the top tier of the rankings. It is a model of rich, silky elegance and has rapidly become a modern classic.
The vines are planted on the coastal strip of Tuscany and have produced some of the very finest crus (Ornellaia Bianco, Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia and Le Volte). Rigorous vine management, manual harvesting in crates, and vinification supervised by leading oenologists to produce the best wines on the planet. The Bolgheri terroir has created a refined and elegant red which is complex yet suave and structured; and magnificent white wines which result of the Estate’s desire to translate the exceptional properties of its terroir not only into red wines but also into this magnificent white. Today the wines continue to enjoy worldwide success, with more than two-thirds of production destined for export to overseas markets.
