A true ‘Second vin’ of Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia was first introduced with vintage 1997, resulting from the decision to carry out an even more rigid selection during the blending phase of the base wines which give life to Ornellaia. Produced primarily from the younger vineyards, the wine combines the pedigree of the flagship wine with freshness, accessibility and softness together with a structure, balance and intensity typical of the great terroir of the Estate.

Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is the expression of a carefully crafted blend. The cuvée brings together the best terroirs of Tuscany and combines the Mediterranean expression of opulence and generosity with structure and complexity. The softness of Merlot, the firm structure and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon supported by the vivacious personality of Sangiovese, create a unique blend which reflects the integrity and style which inspire the philosophy of the Ornellaia Estate.

Ornus dell’Ornellaia, late harvest sweet wine of Petit Manseng, is cultivated in small parcels of land situated among our red varietal vineyards. The name Ornus dell’Ornellaia derives from the term "Fraxinus Ornus", the Latin name for the Manna-Tree or Flowering Ash (in Italian, Orniello), which is known for its precious sap, an ancient sweetener since Biblical times, that now acts as a perfect link to the sweetness of Ornus dell’Ornellaia. Orniello is also the tree which has given its name to Ornellaia.

The vineyards of Ornellaia – a total of 99 hectares – extend over two areas, separated by Bolgheri's renowned Cypress Avenue: 41 hectares surround the Estate, while the remaining 58 are in an area called Bellaria, closer to the sea. These two areas, despite being separated only by a short distance, [...]

Continue /The terrains that make up this fortunate section of Tuscany are geologically quite varied and complex. Within the Ornellaia Estate, the soils share marine, alluvial and volcanic elements. The nearness of the sea, in fact, favors the presence of marls and sands that make the soils relatively loose, [...]

In 2009, starting with vintage 2006, Ornellaia started a project called Vendemmia d’Artista, a marriage between the world of contemporary art and that of wine, and one which celebrates the unique character of each new vintage of Ornellaia, the flagship wine of Ornellaia. Every year, an internationally-known artist will be commissioned to create a work of art that captures the essence of the wine, the individuality of the vintage and its specific personality. Ornellaia’s Vendemmia d’Artista project aims to recapture the tradition and value of artistic patronage in a modern-day key, tying it to the birth place of Ornellaia and the specific character of the individual harvest. An essential part of the project includes the creation of an exclusive label, designed by the artist chosen to interpret the characteristics of the vintage, and which dresses an extremely limited portion of the production of Double Magnums (3 litres), Imperials (6 litres) and a unique Salmanazar bottle (9 litres). Every bottle is individually numbered and personally signed by the artist.
