Bolgheri Superiore DOC 'Ornellaia' 2021 (750 ml.) Ornellaia
The Bolgheri Superiore 'Ornellaia' 2021 by Tenuta Ornellaia, “La Generosità”, reflects a typically Bolgheri vintage, marked by sunny, dry conditions that produced wines that are rich, concentrated, yet expressive. On the nose, it offers Mediterranean scrub, aromatic herbs, cypress berries, and dark fruit, leading to a palate with dense tannins and refined elegance. The finish is persistent and vibrant, with lasting aromatic freshness. Grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot are hand-harvested in 15 kg crates, double-sorted, and fermented separately in stainless steel and concrete tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barriques (70% new), followed by 12 months of bottle aging after blending. Elegant and age-worthy, it pairs beautifully with grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses.

Ornellaia
In the evocative setting of Tuscany, among the rolling hills of Bolgheri, stands the legendary Ornellaia winery, a name that echoes elegance and power. Founded in an exceptional terroir, Ornellaia represents one of the most prestigious labels in Italy, where the unique microclimate and mineral-rich soils create the ideal conditions for the cultivation of noble grapes. Here, the varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot find their maximum expression, giving life to wines that embody the Bordeaux style with an artistic touch in every vintage.
Ornellaia's production philosophy is a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, where obsessive attention to every detail merges with a contemporary approach to winemaking. The vineyards are cared for with dedication, respecting the ecosystem and enhancing biodiversity, to ensure that each bottle tells the story of the territory with authenticity and passion. The winery stands out for its ability to combine power and finesse, creating wines that impress with their aromatic complexity and depth of flavors.
Among the main labels, Ornellaia and Le Serre Nuove stand out as symbols of excellence. Ornellaia, in particular, is a masterpiece of structure and harmony, a wine that seduces with its intense aromas of black fruits, spices and balsamic notes, supported by velvety tannins and a persistence that seems infinite. Le Serre Nuove, on the other hand, represents a more accessible but no less fascinating version, characterized by freshness and dynamism, perfect for those seeking elegance without compromise.

THE COMPANY
It was in 1981 that the Marquis Lodovico Antinori, cousin of Piero Antinori, founded the Tenuta Ornellaia, in the heart of the Bolgheri area, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. With the first vintage of 1985, what became an icon among the SuperTuscan was born: the "Ornellaia", put on the market three years later, in 1988. With the inauguration of the company, the world-renowned winemaker, Michel Rolland, begins to take care of the technical part of the cellar. Subsequently, in the 90s the other two labels were born: "Le Volte" and "Le Serre Nuove". At the beginning of 2000, Robert Mondavi, the great Californian producer, acquired the Estate, then selling 50% to the Marchesi de 'Frescobaldi, who will buy the other 50% only three years later. The end of the 2000s also saw the birth of the "Poggio alle Gazze" label, which will be followed by the carefully selected late-harvest wine "Ornus", obtained from purely pure-grained petit manseng grapes. A mythical winery, therefore, to which the credit goes to have written the history of Bolgheri. With almost one hundred hectares of vineyards, to which another thirteen are added for rent, Tenuta Ornellaia has always focused on one and the same objective: quality. All decisions, all choices, take into account every minimum and smallest detail, and from the vineyard to the final bottling, no shortcuts are allowed. During the harvest, only the finest and most balanced bunches are selected and harvested, then in the winery processed separately, according to the cru of provenance. Then a year of rest in cask, and following the composition of the blend: everything is aimed at enhancing every little nuance of the terroir, and to enhance the expression of every single vintage, always respecting the continuity of what can be considered the " Ornellaia style ", synonymous with experience, competence and determination, which translates into the complexity and elegance of the glass difficult to match.
