TENUTA DELL’ORNELLAIA

-The Frescobaldi Family-

For 700 years the Frescobaldi family has combined tradition, experience and innovation with creativity and the pursuit of excellence. The family has always looked to develop and celebrate the diversity of Tuscany’s terroir, being proud owners of some of the greatest vineyards in this region.

They always seek to maintain the identity and autonomy of each property.

ORNELLAIA, perceived as one of the world’s iconic wineries, has flourished under the Frescobaldi family’s ownership. It is just one of the estates owned by the family alongside ATTEMS (Friuli), MASSETO, DANZANTE, LUCE DELLA VITE and the six FRESCOBALDI Estates, Nipozzano, CastelGiocondo, Pomino, Ammiraglia, Castiglioni and Remole.

-Philosophy-

Our production philosophy revolves around Ornellaia’s 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 “La Proporzione” (Proportion)

The character of Ornellaia 2020, the 15th edition of Vendemmia d’Artista, was “La Proporzione” (Proportion), which evokes the perfect balance between parts and the whole.
Joseph Kosuth was the artist chosen to interpret “La Proporzione”.

The American artist Joseph Kosuth is a leading figure and theorist of Conceptual Art. Questioning the definitions and conventional methods of art, Kosuth focused his research on language, striving to reveal the complexity of cultural codes in visual terms. Starting from the idea that a work of art is a tautology as a representation of the artist’s wishes, he questions the very nature of art, preferring the ideational dimension of the work as opposed to the formal and productive aspects. Kosuth essentially worked on linguistic devices, such as quotations, translations, repetitions, contradictions and negations. The artist focused his attention on the word “vino” in different Indo-European languages, realizing a comparative tree of its diverse modalities.
The history of the word is taken through the parallel transformations of linguistic communities and refers to a unity in a seeming multitude expressed through a morphology. This reframing is then juxtaposed with a quote by Vitruvius’ masterpiece De Architectura, thus closing off the grammatical circle of the concept of proportion.

The desire to nurture the Estate’s exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaia’s 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.

-Tasting notes-

  • Colour: rich and intense ruby red
  • Scent: notes of wild fruit jam with hints of roasted coffee and gentle scents of pine
  • Taste: rich and balanced with soft tannins

-Winemaker’s tasting notes, Vintage 2020 –

“With its usual deep ruby red colour, Ornellaia 2020 stands out on the nose with ripe red fruits and delicate vanilla and gentle tobacco notes. Upon tasting, the wine reveals itself to be rounded and velvety, making an enjoyable and engaging first impression that entices for a second sip. The tannins are dense yet elegant and the finish proves to be savoury and enduring.”
