Nestled on the sun-drenched Tuscan coast near Bolgheri, Tenuta dell'Ornellaia has been synonymous with excellence in winemaking since its founding in 1981. Revered as one of the world’s premier producers of Super Tuscan wines, Ornellaia has consistently crafted vintages that combine Mediterranean elegance with coastal sophistication, making it a benchmark for wine lovers and collectors alike.
The Terroir: Where Sea and Soil Unite
Ornellaia’s vineyards are uniquely positioned in rolling foothills that enjoy a rare maritime microclimate. Summer breezes cool the grapes, while protective hills shield them from harsh winter winds, creating ideal conditions for producing wines with balance, depth, and refinement. The estate’s diverse soils, marine, alluvial, and volcanic, nurture both red and white varietals, allowing for exceptional Bordeaux-style blends, limited-production whites, and the sweet, rare Petit Manseng Ornus dell’Ornellaia.
Crafting Excellence Through Sustainable Practices
At Ornellaia, sustainability and tradition go hand in hand. The estate is committed to environmentally conscious viticulture, ensuring that every bottle reflects a harmony between nature and human expertise. Through careful vineyard management and meticulous winemaking, Ornellaia consistently delivers wines that are not just products but experiences, capturing the essence of Bolgheri and the soul of Tuscany.
Why Ornellaia Stands Out
What sets Ornellaia apart is its ability to combine innovation with heritage. Each vintage tells a story of the land, the climate, and the winemakers’ dedication to perfection. The result is a collection of wines that are elegant yet powerful, complex yet approachable, and universally admired for their consistency and character.
Whether you are a seasoned collector or exploring Super Tuscan wines for the first time, Tenuta dell'Ornellaia offers an unforgettable taste of Tuscany, one sip at a time.
