From its very beginning, has been dedicated to producing one of the greatest in the world and sees this pursuit of excellence as part of itsTuscan identity. The Ornellaia style has been shaped by Bolgheri’s proximity to the sea and by the passion of all those who work in the winery.

THE ESTATE

The Ornellaia estate lies hidden in the foothills that face the Mediterranean coast close to Bolgheri. Unlike the majority of the appellation, most of the Ornellaia vineyards are situated on the hillside above and around the village. In addition to direct sunlight, the vineyards benefit from the reflection of the light on the sea nearby and an exceptional microclimate that enhances the Mediterranean character of the wines. The first Cabernet vineyard in di Bolgheri was planted in 1944. It took many years to recognize that varieties like Cabernet and were perfectly suited to the Bolgheri climate, where they get a Mediterranean expression. With the creation of Ornellaia, Bolgheri’s reputation as a unique terroir began to grow throughout the world. DOC certification followed quickly after in 1994.

PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY

Our goal is to capture the estate’s great terroir in the complexity of all its facets. The quest for excellence and innovation in order to reinterpret tradition is the pillar of our philosophy. At Ornellaia we firmly believe that a great can only be made with picked precisely at the right time within the conditions of each specific vintage. We rely on patient observation of the vineyard and meticulous tasting of the berries in order to find the moment when the grapes express their full aromatic potential and develop the rich and silky texture of tannins, while keeping freshness and brilliance. Each vineyard is approached as a single individual while every grape is subject to a double selection to ascertain the quality of the bunches and remove every single piece of vegetation. IN THE CELLAR

The cellar is the continuation of the vineyard. Here as well each vineyard is treated as an individual, vinified separately, with the objective to express the specific character of its parcel. Again the palate is our main tool, the daily tasting of the fermenting wines allow us to adapt extraction and maceration time to each of the 70 to 80 base wines, that will mature separately in small French oak barrels, before being selected and blended to achieve a subtle balance: expressing the specific character of the vintage while keeping Ornellaia’s voluptuous elegance.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable viticulture is an integral part of our production philosophy and is based on the economic longevity of structures and territories, the qualitative production and the enhancement of the heritage and landscape of the Bolgheri area along with its historical, cultural and ecological aspects. At Ornellaia, the concept of environmental sustainability, understood as the use of the soil’s natural fertility, can be identified in various practices and limited measures implemented in our vineyards, with the aim of promoting the biodiversity of the species cultivated. These include the protective management of the soil to maintain its integrity and fertility, management of the plant to achieve self-regulation and the adoption of defence systems with a low environmental impact that stimulate the vine’s natural defences. Minimising interventions and external inputs both in the vineyard and in the cellar makes it possible to bring out the “terroir” and the capacity for expression of every single vineyard. All this is possible thanks to a human heritage of inestimable importance, which grows every day thanks to the encouragement and appropriate training of in-house staff. UNIQUE COMBINATION

The cool maritime breeze caresses the vineyards throughout the summer months, allowing a slow ripening of the grapes and bringing freshness to the wines. During the winter, the hills protect the vineyards from the cold northern winds. Ornellaia believes that wines should be the truest expression of the terroir from which they come. The great variability of the soils – marine, alluvial or volcanic origins – combines with the lay of the land to create a highly diversified patchwork of micro-terroirs, identifiable in more than 70 distinct plots. This explains how Ornellaia can grow both red and white while achieving complexity and richness in all its wines.

Olio dell’Ornellaia expresses the exceptional qualities of Ornellaia’s unique terroir and the harmonious bond it holds with nature. The oil appears a rich green, luminous and clear, with a bouquet that releases delicate, appealing notes of aromatic herbs. The palate is selfconfident and well-balanced in all its components, hinting of almonds and with that peppery, slightly bitter note that distinguishes olives at the moment of their peak ripeness. Ornellaia’s extra virgin oil is obtained by pressing the olives from the 2000 trees, many of them over 100 years old, that grow upon the grounds of the Estate. In our olive groves we cultivate Frantoio, Moraiolo, and Leccino, as well as more local cultivars, such as Gremignolo di Bolgheri, Olivastro di Suvereto, and the Ornellaia Cultivar, named after the farm that has now become the estate.

Discovering the nuances and character that the vintages express over time is one of the great pleasures of wine. As Ornellaia evolves over the years, so do its wines, silently maturing in the cellar day by day. The bottles of Ornellaia Archivio Storico have rested undisturbed since their birth, in perfect storage conditions, in the archive renovated by the Florentine architects, Guicciardini and Magni, in 2018. The number of bottles kept in the archive is extremely limited and offers collectors a unique look at the history of Ornellaia, a very rare and special opportunity. To guarantee the uniqueness of these bottles, a special Ornellaia Archivio Storico label has been created, along with an individual wooden case and a Prooftag™ certifying their origin.

Ornellaia Vendemmia d’Artista

Vendemmia d’Artista celebrates the exclusive character of each Ornellaia vintage. Since the release of Ornellaia 2006, an internationally famous contemporary artist has created a work of art for the estate and a series of limited-edition labels, inspired by the character identified by the winemaker to describe the particular features of the new vintage. 111 large formats, of which 100 3-litre Double Magnums, 10 six-litre Imperials and a nine-litre Salmanazar, are sold and auctioned off to be delivered to the cellars of the lucky collectors and, from 2019, the proceeds are donated to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in support of an innovative project called “Mind’s Eye”. Since 2012, the Vendemmia d’Artista project has been extended to each case of Ornellaia (containing six 750ml bottles) in which one bottle out of six has a special label designed by the artist.

RISTORANTE Ornellaia

ZURICH

Ornellaia opened its first restaurant in Zurich in April 2018. The idea was born together with Bindella, Ornellaia’s importer since the first vintage and ambassador in Switzerland, also acknowledged as an operator in the high-end restaurant industry. It is inevitable that two realities whose production philosophy converges in the common ideal of quality have created a unique environment in which skills in the field of hospitality and great wines come together in an exclusive experience. The food is a modern reinterpretation of Tuscan tradition, under the guidance and creativity of chef Giuseppe D’Errico. This magic takes place just a stone’s throw from Bahnhofstrasse, one of the city’s most luxurious and exclusive streets. The restaurant reflects the bold and elegant spirit of Ornellaia and Tuscan familiarity. The wine list offers vintage and rare wines from Ornellaia Archivio Storico and bottles otherwise available only at international auction.
