Ornellaia is one of Tuscany’s coastal icons, born from Marchese Lodovico Antinori’s vision in 1981 and shaped by legendary agronomist André Tchelistcheff. French varieties took root in Bolgheri’s marine‑influenced soils, revealing an estate capable of producing world‑class Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese. Now under the sole ownership of Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi, Ornellaia is celebrated for luxurious, Mediterranean‑inflected wines that balance power with finesse. Its obsessive commitment to excellence and its singular Bolgheri terroir have made Ornellaia a cherished name for wine lovers around the world.
