Summary

Ornellaia s.r.l. is a world-renowned winery, nestled in the picturesque Tuscan town of Bolgheri, Italy. Established in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, this illustrious winery has been crafting luxury wines that embody the soul of the terroir and the passion of those who cultivate it.

The winery is spread across 99 hectares of vineyards, flourishing under the warm Mediterranean climate. It is situated on the Tuscan coast, sandwiched between the hills and the sea which assures a long, dry season regular, perfect for the unhurried maturation of the grapes. The vineyards are planted with high density exclusively by hand, with varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

Ornellaia s.r.l. has earned a reputation for pairing traditional winemaking techniques with modern technology. It boasts a state-of-the-art winemaking facility that includes stainless steel, temperature-controlled fermenting tanks and French oak barrels for aging the wines.

The wines produced here are characterized by their balance, intense flavor profiles, and exceptional elegance. The winery's flagship wine, Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Superiore, is a full-bodied red blend that reflects the estate's distinct terroir and has won numerous accolades and critical acclaim.

The winery's commitment to excellence extends beyond its wines. It also emphasizes sustainability, using organic farming methods and investing in energy-saving technologies. Moreover, it's a key participant in the "Vendemmia d'Artista" project, commissioning a famous artist each year to create a unique artwork and a series of limited edition labels inspired by a word chosen by the winemaker to describe the character of the new vintage.

Visitors to Ornellaia s.r.l. can delight in its mesmerizing natural beauty, tour the expansive vineyards and cutting-edge production facilities, and partake in intimate tasting experiences. All these make a visit to this winery a must for wine connoisseurs and those who appreciate the subtle artistry and passion that goes into each bottle of wine.
