Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is one of Tuscany’s most important estates and is internationally renowned for its Super Tuscans. The estate lies on the Tuscan coast near Bolgheri, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its vineyards extend across two neighbouring areas separated by the famous cypress avenue of Bolgheri, covering around 99 hectares of vines. Ornellaia was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, who developed the estate in Castagneto Carducci from that year onward. From the beginning, the goal was to produce wines at the very highest level – inspired by Bordeaux, yet shaped by the maritime climate and the soils of the Maremma. Today, Ornellaia belongs to the Frescobaldi Group, which has run the estate for almost two decades and continues to strengthen its prestigious position.
