Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Ornellaia known for?

Ornellaia is best known for its Bordeaux-style blends, crafted with meticulous attention to detail in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. The estate’s flagship red wine, simply named Ornellaia, combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, resulting in a structured yet opulent wine with layers of black fruit, spice, graphite, and polished tannins. These wines are known for their balance, longevity, and unmistakable Italian flair. Beyond their flagship label, Ornellaia also produces Le Serre Nuove, a second wine made from younger vines but still showcasing the estate’s trademark finesse and complexity. Additionally, the estate produces a limited white blend, Ornellaia Bianco, primarily composed of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, highlighting freshness, minerality, and aromatic lift. Across all its wines, Ornellaia emphasises elegance, terroir expression, and age-worthiness, establishing itself as a cornerstone of contemporary Italian fine wine.

Where are Ornellaia wines made?

Ornellaia wines are produced in the Bolgheri DOC, located on the Tuscan coast of Italy. The estate lies near the medieval village of Bolgheri, in a privileged position between the rolling hills and the Tyrrhenian Sea. This unique setting creates a microclimate characterised by ample sunshine, cooling maritime breezes, and well-drained alluvial and volcanic soils—ideal for cultivating Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The proximity to the sea tempers the intense Tuscan heat, allowing for slow, even ripening of the grapes, which in turn contributes to the complexity and balance in the wines. The estate itself spans approximately 100 hectares of vineyards, farmed using sustainable practices to preserve biodiversity and soil vitality. Ornellaia’s location, combined with careful vineyard management and state-of-the-art winemaking, enables the production of wines that rival the top estates of Bordeaux while maintaining a distinctly Tuscan identity.

What are the best Ornellaia wines?

The most acclaimed wine from Ornellaia is its namesake flagship label, Ornellaia. Vintages such as 2006, 2010, 2013, and 2016 have received widespread critical acclaim for their depth, structure, and ageing potential. This wine is crafted from a blend of Bordeaux varietals and embodies the estate’s pursuit of harmony between richness and refinement. Another standout is Masseto, though technically a separate label produced on the same property. Masseto is a 100% Merlot wine and consistently ranks among Italy’s most collectible and luxurious red wines. Within Ornellaia’s core range, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia also garners strong praise, offering earlier approachability while maintaining the house style. On the white wine front, Ornellaia Bianco is made in small quantities but is notable for its complexity and age-worthiness. Each of these wines showcases the estate’s world-class viticulture and dedication to producing wines of distinction, elegance, and depth.

Are Ornellaia wines affordable?

Ornellaia wines are positioned in the premium tier of the global fine wine market and are generally not considered affordable for everyday consumption. The flagship Ornellaia red typically commands a price well above AUD $300 per bottle, reflecting its critical acclaim, consistent quality, and limited production. Masseto, produced from 100% Merlot and vinified at the same estate, often surpasses AUD $1,000 per bottle, making it one of Italy’s most expensive and collectible wines. That said, the estate also offers Le Serre Nuove, which provides a more accessible entry point into the Ornellaia experience, often priced under AUD $150. While these wines may not be budget-friendly, they are widely regarded as offering significant value in the context of their craftsmanship, reputation, and cellar-worthiness. For collectors and enthusiasts of high-end Tuscan wines, Ornellaia represents an investment in both quality and heritage.
