Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is one of Italy’s most iconic and compelling wine estates — a benchmark producer in the Bolgheri DOC on the Tuscan coast whose reputation for extraordinary Bordeaux-style red blends places it among the elite of the Super-Tuscans. Nestled just a few kilometres from the Mediterranean, the estate harnesses a rare combination of maritime breezes, diverse soils and rigorous viticulture to craft wines of remarkable depth, finesse and aging potential. From the very first vintage in 1985, Ornellaia has been synonymous with power balanced by precise structure, making each bottle as thrilling for collectors as it is for passionate wine drinkers. Over nearly four decades, Ornellaia’s philosophy has remained unwavering: produce wines that are true expressions of their terroir, vintage after vintage, by paying obsessive attention to vineyard management and vinification. The estate’s flagship red — a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot — combines the boldness of the Tuscan sun with the cool clarity of Mediterranean winds into a wine that is both cosmopolitan and unmistakably Italian. Beyond its flagship, the estate’s portfolio includes prestigious second and white wines, each reflecting the same commitment to quality. Drinking Ornellaia is an invitation to experience the full range of what world-class Italian winemaking can achieve: from youthful vibrancy to extraordinary maturity. Whether enjoye young or after decades in the cellar, these wines open with expressive aromatics and reward patience with layers of nuance that evolve with time. For enthusiasts seeking wines that deliver both immediate pleasure and long-term investment potential, Ornellaia stands as a jewel in the crown of Bolgheri — and a must-have in any serious cellar. Today we are pleased to offer you an unprecedented vertical of 12 historic vintages all ready to ship (weather permitting obviously) and great investments given the Estates’ history, importance and that they are also the historic producers of Masseto, maybe Italy’s most expensive and sought after Super Tuscan.
