A total of 115 hectares in production is divided into a mosaic of more than 70 different plots according to soil type, exposition and varietal.
The great variability of the soils – marine, alluvial or volcanic origins – combines with the lay of the land to create a highly diversified patchwork of micro-terroirs

The production philosophy revolves around Ornellaia’s obsession with excellence – at all levels. Every choice made is of absolute importance and implies an all-consuming attention to detail.
The best possible quality is reached through meticulous work in the vineyard, mostly executed by hand to respect the specific character of each vineyard.
In the cellar each vineyard is treated as an individual, vinified separately, with the objective to express the specific character of its parcel. The base wines mature in small French oak barrels, before being selected and blended to achieve a subtle balance: expressing the specific character of the vintage while keeping Ornellaia’s voluptuous elegance.

Sustainable viticulture is an integral part of production philosophy: interventions and external inputs both in the vineyard and in the cellar are minimised.
Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot and the faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature.
From 2017 Ornellaia old vintages have been kept in the Archivio Storico designed by Florentine Architects Marco Magni & Piero Guicciardini.

Every year since the release of Ornellaia 2006 a contemporary artist creates a work of art and a series of limited edition labels drawing inspiration from the single word chosen by the Winemaker to describe the character of the new vintage.
From 2019, the Ornellaia Vendemmia d’Artista project raises funds to support the growth of Mind’s Eye program at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, that helps individuals who are blind or have low vision experience art through all their senses. The appreciation of art and great wines involves all the senses, and it is this idea that has inspired Ornellaia to support the growth of this particular program.

In addition to the iconic wine, the estate produces two reds, Le Serre Nuove dell' Ornellaia, which is a true second vin and Le Volte dell' Ornellaia. Its production includes also two white wines: the historical Poggio alle Gazze dell' Ornellaia and Ornellaia Bianco.
