✨ Technical Specifications

The Ornellaia Assortment Case represents a curated journey through one of Italy's most prestigious estates, located in the pristine coastal amphitheater of Bolgheri, Tuscany. Founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, Ornellaia was instrumental in establishing the global reputation of the 'Super Tuscan' movement.
