In 1981, Marchese Lodovico Antinori breathed new life into Tenuta dell’ Ornellaia, an estate whose potential had been ignored for decades. With the help of Andre Tchelistcheff, the famous agronomist, Antinori planted the first French vines in Bolgheri, which lies in the heart of Tuscany’s coastal region, Maremma. The estate yields some of the finest Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in Tuscany. In 2002, Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi became owners of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, which is now owned exclusively by Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a red garnet color accompanied by a bouquet of cherries, menthol and a hint of rosemary. On the palate, the wine is round and rich, without being overpowering. It is spicy on the mid-palate and lively on the back-end, with flavors of black currant, licorice and coffee -- followed by a long-lasting finish that is slightly minty and boasts a juicy mouth-watering sensation.
