The Estate PHILOSOPHY
Every vine that delves its roots into the deep soil where once was the sea has its own voice. Understanding and conducting the singular harmony of this chorus is a responsibility and an honour for Ornellaia. The combination of soil, sun, sea, wind and the history of this land defines every wine.
ORNELLAIA AND THE QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE
Attention to detail. At Ornellaia, everything we do in the vineyard, cellar and in the daily running of the estate is a matter of sensibility. Many tiny details make up the unspoken bond between simplicity and constant improvement.
ORNELLAIA EXTENDS BETWEEN BOLGHERI AND THE COAST: HISTORY, SEA AND POETRY.
In the past, parts of the Ornellaia estate were covered by the Mediterranean Sea, leaving behind sand, marl and marine fossils. Clay emerges at a slightly higher altitude, dotted with limestone pebbles of varying sizes.
