✨ Technical Specifications
Ornellaia, established in 1981 in the coastal amphitheater of Bolgheri, Tuscany, is one of Italy's most legendary estates. The name 'Eleganza' (L'Eleganza) directly references the theme of the estate's celebrated 2013 'Vendemmia d'Artista' edition, a project where world-renowned artists interpret the unique character of each vintage. This wine represents the pinnacle of Bolgheri Superiore, typically crafted from a meticulous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The vines thrive in a complex terroir of marine fossils, clay, and sand, cooled by Mediterranean breezes. Vinified with parcel-by-parcel precision and aged for approximately 18 months in French oak barriques followed by a year in bottle, the wine embodies a harmonious marriage of power and refinement, reflecting the pioneering spirit of the Super Tuscan movement.
