Ornellaia

Ornellaia is one of the most famous Super Tuscans, set up in 1981 by Lodovico Antinori. It is located on the Tuscan coast, in Bolgheri, like neighbouring Sassicaia.

The flagship wine, Ornellaia, consists of a blend of Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Each vineyard parcel is picked and vinified separately. Fermentation takes place in a mixture of stainless steel and concrete vessels. Malolactic fermention is then carried out in barrel to give extra roundness and integration to the wine. Maturation is in barrels for 18 months, with a further 12 months’ maturation in bottle before release.

The second wine is Le Serre Nuove, made from fruit from younger vines. A third wine, Le Volte, is also made from the same varieties.

There are two white wines made in small quantities: Ornellaia Bianco and Poggio alle Gazze dell’Ornellaia, made from Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino and Viognier. Ornus dell’Ornellaia, a sweet wine from Petit Manseng, is the final wine in the range, made in very limited volumes.
