A unique terroir in the heart of Bolgheri

The Ornellaia vineyard benefits from a privileged environment where maritime influence plays an essential role in the ripening of the grapes. The varied soils, notably composed of clay, sand, and gravel, allow the full richness of the grape varieties cultivated on the estate to be expressed. This diversity of terroirs contributes to the complexity and balance of the wines, which are among the most sought-after in Tuscany.

The excellence of great international grape varieties

Ornellaia relies mainly on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grapes to produce its iconic cuvées. Each plot is vinified with precision to preserve its identity and personality. This approach allows for the creation of wines of great finesse, where power, freshness, and elegance are expressed harmoniously.
