About this wine
Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia, Bolgheri Superiore Rosso D.O.C
Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia's Bolgheri Superiore Rosso ranks among the great wines of Tuscany, crafted to showcase the potential of the coastal vineyards in Bolgheri. Founded in 1981, the estate quickly established a reputation for producing wines of international standing, crafted from Bordeaux varieties that thrive in the region's maritime climate and alluvial soils.
The wine is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot adding depth and character. Each plot is harvested and vinified separately, allowing precision in blending. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel before the wine is transferred to French oak barriques, of which a proportion are new, for around 18 months. This meticulous élevage is designed to refine the structure while preserving the vineyard's character.
In the glass, Bolgheri Superiore Rosso consistently shows notes of cassis, black plum, and dark cherry, complemented by savoury notes of cedar and tobacco. The palate is layered and long, with firm tannins and freshness promising considerable cellaring potential.

Founded in 1981 by Lodovico Antinori and named after the grove of flowering ash trees that surround the winery, the estate over looks the Tyrrhenian Sea with views stretching to islands of the Tuscan Archipelago and as far as Corsica. Sitting adjacent Tenuta San Guido (producer of Sassicaia) this is one of the estates that helped put Bolgehri on the map, along with Lodovico’s older brother’s Solaia and Tiganello, as well as Sassicaia. There are 3 wines in the range, the flagship Ornellaia; its second label, Le Serre Nuove; and its entry-level gem, Le Volte.
