Ornellaia, Bolgheri
The estate of Tenuta dell’ Ornellaia is most famous for their wine of the same name, Ornellaia. Tenuta dell’ Ornellaia was one of the pioneers in Italy for planting the Bordeaux grape varieties and Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot dominate the plantings in their Tuscan estate. Ornellaia is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominated blend. Tenuta dell’ Ornellaia is located in the Bolgheri DOC region in Tuscany. It was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, working alongside the great Californian winemaker, Professor André Tchelistcheff. Following a period under the influence of Robert Mondavi, the estate came under the ownership of Marchesi de Frescobaldi in 2005. In the capable hands of winemaker Thomas Duroux and consultant Michel Rolland, the estate continues its long-standing record of world-class wine production. The estate has two main vineyards in Tuscany; Ornellaia (which also houses the winery) and most recently at Bellaria. The estate has 91 hectares of vines; Cabernet Sauvignon (43 hectares), Cabernet Franc (7 hectares), Merlot (33 hectares), and Petit Verdot (8 hectares). Ornellaia, which was first produced in 1985 is the estate’s signature wine and is made from a typical Bordeaux blend; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc. (Generally in proportions of 65%, 30% and 5%). Wine Spectator awarded Wine of The Year to the 1998 vintage and the wine was officially recognized in 1994 as having its own DOC status. Aromas and flavours often mentioned are blackcurrants, redcurrants forest berries, rosemary, and cherries with a hint of minerality.
Large format bottles of Ornellaia are rare, especially now nicely matured vintages. We are therefore proud to be able to include these perfectly aged 1988 and 1990 double-magnums and the modern day classic, 2001.
