Ornellaia Ornellaia 2022

Bolgheri

May 27, 2026 - Ornellaia is the estate’s flagship wine—a Grand Vin that embodies the power, elegance, and Mediterranean soul of Bolgheri. First produced in 1985, it is crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, harvested by hand and aged for 18 months in French oak. Blended after the first year, it returns to barrel for further refinement. With its remarkable balance and depth, Ornellaia captures the unique identity of each vintage and has the structure to evolve beautifully for decades.
