Ornellaia Tenute dell'Ornellaia 2018 Magnum

Half-hidden at the foot of the hills near Bolgheri, Ornellaia is just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. In the summer months, the fresh sea breeze it caresses the vineyards and the nearby olive groves, while during the winter the hills protect against the cold winds of the north.

Ornellaia believes that a wine should be the most authentic expression of the terroir from which it comes and, right here, united to the maritime climate, the heterogeneous nature of the land of the estate - of marine origin, alluvial and volcanic - creates a distinctive environment where red and white varieties can best express themselves.


The grapes of each cru ferment separately, since each base wine contributes to the creation of the final blend, by virtue of the specific conditions of the vineyard of provenance: combination of soil, climate exposure and of course the type of vine. Only after a year of aging in cask the base wines are assembled respecting the two main criteria: the expression of elegance inherent in the spirit of Ornellaia.

The endless vineyard parcels are also inserted in this uncontaminated landscape as tesserae of a large mosaic, creating a work of extraordinary beauty, complexity and elegance in a truly unique place. Experience, competence and determination have played their part in the enhancement of quality and quality reputation of Ornellaia, but it is the estate itself to be a continuous source of inspiration, suggesting always new and exclusive ways of capturing its great generosity.
