The 2017 vintage is intense and deeply colored, showing a concentrated bouquet of ripe red and black fruit, tobacco, leather, sweet spices, and hints of dark chocolate. On the palate it is powerful yet poised—rich fruit core, fine-grained tannins, a saline-mineral spine, and an energetic finish that balances ripeness with tension.
Ornellaia, located in the Bolgheri zone of Tuscany, is the prestigious “grand vin” estate within the Antinori/Frescobaldi family’s portfolio. The vineyard comprises multiple soils—marine, alluvial, and volcanic—sitting just miles from the Mediterranean, allowing a cool influence and balanced maturation. In 2017, Ornellaia emphasized strict selection and careful vat-by-vat vinification methods to preserve freshness, structure, and site identity.
