Ornellaia was founded in 1981 by Ludovico Antinori in Bolgheri, confident that it could make quality Bordeaux-style wines.
However, this descendant of the family of famous Tuscan wine growers, could hardly have realized that he would be on the path of creating two of Italy’s most famous labels: Ornellaia and Masseto.
The grapes for Ornellaia are harvested manually and then selected on a sorting and separation table. Thanks to its combination of ripe fruits, subtleness, and structure, Ornellaia has quickly climbed into the ranks of the most acclaimed Supertoscans.
Ornellaia is the quintessential expression of Bolgheri and his terroir.
