Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
A premiere estate located in Tuscany's Bolgheri coast, Tenuta dell'Ornellaia produces the renowned Merlot-based blends Masseto, Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove, and Le Volte. Bolgheri is the birthplace of the Super-Tuscan movement, which started with the creation of Sassicaia by Tenuta San Guido, and includes the wineries Le Macchiole and Grattamacco in addition to Tenuta dell'Ornellaia.
Lodovico Antinori created the estate in the 1970s following his conviction that Bolgheri's coastal slopes would be optimal for Merlot cultivation. The unique microclimate and combination of clay in the soil eventually proved ideal, epitomized by the 2001 Masseto, which garnered 100-points from the Wine Spectator. The pinnacle achievement at Ornellaia, the Masseto has developed a cult following for its limited allocation.
Ornellaia, a Cabernet, Merlot, Cabernet Franc blend which debuted in 1985, is the estate's signature wine. Le Serre Nuove, which requires less aging and displays a more fruit forward style, is something of a "second wine" and joins Le Volte, a Sangiovese, Cabernet, Merlot blend, as wines at a younger age.
