Ornellaia 2021 : A Rich and Generous Expression from Bolgheri

Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore embodies the essence of Tuscany’s prestigious Bolgheri region. Founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, the Ornellaia estate is known for its favorable terroir, which combines direct sunlight, a refreshing sea breeze, and diverse soil types. This unique environment has allowed the estate’s vineyards to flourish, producing wines of exceptional quality since the first harvest in 1985.

The 2021 vintage reflects the ideal conditions of a typical Bolgheri year—sunny and dry periods that encourage the development of concentrated, yet elegant wines. Since 2005, under the stewardship of Frescobaldi and winemaker Axel Heinz, Ornellaia has continually produced wines that capture the heart and soul of Bolgheri.

The 2021 Ornellaia is a captivating blend, predominantly featuring the region’s classic Bordeaux varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These varietals thrive in Bolgheri’s unique microclimate, allowing the wine to express deep, complex flavors. The wine opens with an inviting bouquet of Mediterranean shrubs and herbs, accented by cypress berries, blackberries, and dark fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied with dense, silky tannins that provide structure and depth. Despite its richness, the wine maintains impressive precision and finesse, with a vibrant, fresh finish that lingers elegantly.
