-Philosophy-

Our production philosophy revolves around Ornellaias obsession with excellence at all levels. Every choice we make is of absolute importance and implies an all-consuming attention to detail. At no point in the production process are shortcuts allowed or tolerated, and this is how we succeed harvesting grapes that are of the very highest quality irrespective of the climatic conditions in that particular year.

ORNELLAIA

The desire to nurture the Estates exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaias philosophy since the beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot and the faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature.

The South African artist William Kentridge has been chosen to interpret the character Il Carisma (Charisma) of the Ornellaia 2015 vintage. For the tenth edition of the project Vendemmia dArtista he has created a work of art for the estate, customized a limited series of bottles in large format, and designed a label that, expressing the vintage character, will be inserted in each Ornellaia case containing 6 bottles of 750ml. In addition the same label will be replicated on all Magnums and on their wooden cases lids.
