Ornellaia – Iconic Bolgheri Estate Celebrating Mediterranean Terroir and Excellence
Since its founding in 1981, Ornellaia has been a beacon of excellence on the Tuscan coast near Bolgheri, pioneering the emergence of this young yet world-renowned wine region. Revered globally, Ornellaia has shaped the landscape of Super Tuscan wines, producing vintages that capture the essence of Mediterranean elegance and coastal sophistication.
Situated in the rolling foothills just kilometres from the shimmering Mediterranean Sea, Ornellaia’s vineyards benefit from a rare maritime microclimate. Summer sea breezes gently cool the grapes, while the protective hills shield them from harsh northern winds in winter, creating an ideal environment for producing wines of extraordinary finesse and balance.
The estate’s unique terroir, a complex mosaic of marine, alluvial, and volcanic soils, nurtures the full expression of both red and white varietals. The estate’s flagship Bordeaux-style red blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, creating the legendary Ornellaia reds celebrated worldwide. Meanwhile, limited production whites, crafted from Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, and Viognier, deliver rare elegance, alongside the ultra-premium sweet Petit Manseng-based Ornus dell’Ornellaia.
At the heart of Ornellaia’s philosophy lies a deep commitment to sustainable viticulture, fostering economic longevity, enhancing the landscape, and honouring the historical, cultural, and ecological heritage of Bolgheri. Every bottle is a tribute to this harmonious balance between nature, tradition, and innovation.
