FRESCOBALDI – 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 BIANCO
The desire to nurture the Estate’s exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaia’s philosophy since the beginning. Ornellaia Bianco is a blend with a majority of Sauvignon Blanc coming from three small vineyards that have demonstrated their remarkable capacity to express the unique character of Ornellaia.
-Winemaker’s tasting notes, Vintage 2017-
“2017 was mainly characterised by heat and drought, and harvesting the Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier grapes early was fundamental for preserving the aromatic freshness of the wines. With its bright yellow colour with green reflections, Ornellaia Bianco 2017 has a beautifully complex nose and an unexpected aromatic intensity, featuring aromas of exotic fruits and notes of fresh citrus. It is particularly striking in the mouth with an almost silky sensation, accompanied by a pleasant freshness that ends in a long and elegant finish.”
