✨ Technical Specifications
The Ornellaia Assortment Case represents a luxurious curation of some of Tuscany's most prestigious wines, crafted at the legendary estate in Bolgheri. Founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, Ornellaia was born from a vision to create world-class Bordeaux-style blends on the Tuscan coast. Influenced by the cooling maritime breezes of the Tyrrhenian Sea and planted on complex alluvial, volcanic, and clay soils, the estate's vineyards yield grapes of extraordinary concentration and elegance. This assortment typically showcases the evolution of the estate's craft, featuring their flagship Bolgheri Superiore—a masterclass in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot aged in French oak—alongside other esteemed estate bottlings. The history of Ornellaia is one of pioneering spirit, artistic collaboration, and an uncompromising pursuit of quality that helped define the Super Tuscan phenomenon.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori and guided today under the stewardship of the Frescobaldi family with Technical Director Marco Balsimelli, Ornellaia stands as a pillar of coastal Tuscan viticulture. Situated near Bolgheri along the Tyrrhenian seaboard, the estate commands around 100 hectares of meticulously mapped vineyards. Soils reflect a mosaic of marine gravel, clay, loam, and limestone, nourished by generous maritime sunlight and tempered by cooling coastal breezes sweeping down from the Colline Metallifere. Viticulture adheres to rigorous sustainable standards, certified through Equalitas, championing parcel-level diversity and biodiversity. Ornellaia's winemaking philosophy centers on precise vinification of individual micro-plots in stainless steel and concrete before barrel maturation in fine-grained French oak. The estate's namesake grand vin, Bolgheri DOC Superiore Ornellaia, blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot with structural nobility and opulence, alongside benchmark bottlings such as Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia, Poggio alle Gazze, and the legendary single-vineyard Merlot, Masseto.
