Ornellaia is one of the most iconic and prestigious names in Italian winemaking. Founded in 1982 in Bolgheri by Ludovico Antinori, the estate was established with a clear vision: to achieve excellence. Antinori planted Bordeaux grape varieties in a wild and unexplored part of Tuscany, believing in the potential of the land. Today, Ornellaia stands among the world’s elite wine producers.
Nestled between the Tuscan hills and the Tyrrhenian Sea, the estate benefits from a unique microclimate. The combination of sea breezes, sunlight, and mineral-rich soils gives the wines depth, elegance, and complexity.
Since 2005, Ornellaia has been under the direction of the Frescobaldi family, who continue to uphold its legacy of quality and innovation. Each vineyard plot is carefully managed and vinified separately to highlight its distinctive character. Sustainability, precision, and terroir expression are at the heart of the winery’s philosophy.
A distinctive feature of Ornellaia is its close relationship with contemporary art. Every year, a renowned artist is invited to design labels for a limited series of large-format bottles, turning wine into collectible art.
From the legendary Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore to Le Serre Nuove and the elegant white Poggio alle Gazze, the estate’s wines are served at the world’s most prestigious tables. They are sensual, expressive, and crafted to perfection — true masterpieces of Italian enology.
Ornellaia is not just a winery. It’s a symbol of how nature, culture, and craftsmanship can come together to create excellence.
