Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia

The Land: Between Sea and Hills

The magic of Ornellaia lies in its unique geographical location, just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea.

• Microclimate: The sea breeze tempers the summer heat, preserving the aromatic freshness of the grapes. In winter, the surrounding hills protect the vines from cold winds.

• Geology: The vineyard is a complex mosaic of soils. It contains marine pebbles (alluvium), volcanic clays and sands, allowing each grape variety to find its ideal anchorage.

• Grape Varieties: THE domaine is dedicated to international grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc And Petit Verdot.

Philosophy: “L’Eleganza e lo Stile”

Unlike other fields that seek raw power, Ornellaia focuses on finesse and balance. Each plot is harvested and vinified separately to respect the identity of each micro-terroir before the final blending, which is considered a true work of art.

Iconic Wines

THE domaine produces several world-renowned vintages:

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore - The "Grand Vin". A powerful, silky and complex blend, capable of aging for decades. 

Masseto (From an adjacent vineyard managed separately) A cult 100% Merlot, considered one of the most expensive and rarest wines in the world.

The New Greenhouse - THE "Second Vin", more accessible, offering a nice introduction to the style of domaine.

Poggio alle Gazze - A rare and elegant white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc.

Art and Wine: "Vendemmia d'Artista"

Since 2006, the domaine launched the project Vendemmia d'ArtistaEach year, an internationally renowned contemporary artist creates a work of art and a series of limited-edition labels inspired by the specific character of the new vintage (e.g., "La Proporzione", "L'Infinito").

Typical tasting note: An Ornellaia is recognized by its notes of ripe black fruits, tobacco, dark chocolate and Mediterranean spices, with tannins of exceptional velvety smoothness.
