Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is one of Italy’s most prestigious wine estates, located in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany along the Tyrrhenian coast. Founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, the estate quickly gained acclaim for producing Bordeaux-style wines with Italian elegance. Its proximity to the sea, combined with a unique mix of clay, gravel, and mineral-rich soils, creates an ideal terroir for growing international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia as a symbol of modern Italian winemaking.
The estate's flagship wine, Ornellaia, is a Super Tuscan blend celebrated for its richness, complexity, and aging potential. Another iconic label is Masseto, a single-vineyard Merlot that has become one of the world’s most sought-after wines. In addition to these, the estate produces Le Serre Nuove and Le Volte, both offering earlier-drinking expressions of the Ornellaia style.
Ornellaia practices sustainable viticulture and places great importance on precision farming and hand-harvesting. Vinification occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel and oak fermenters, followed by aging in French oak barriques. The estate uses a gravity-flow system to preserve the integrity of the fruit during winemaking.
In 2005, Ornellaia became part of the Frescobaldi family holdings, one of Tuscany’s most historic and respected wine dynasties. Under their stewardship, the estate continues to refine its approach while preserving its luxurious and powerful style. The label’s commitment to quality is reinforced by limited production and meticulous vineyard management.
Each year, Ornellaia partners with renowned contemporary artists to create special-edition labels under its “Vendemmia d’Artista” project, linking fine art and fine wine. The wines of Ornellaia are celebrated worldwide and served in some of the most exclusive restaurants and wine cellars. With a perfect blend of innovation, tradition, and terroir, Tenuta dell'Ornellaia stands as a symbol of modern Italian winemaking excellence.
