Tenuta dell’Ornellaia was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, quickly establishing itself as a global icon of Italian winemaking. Specifically, the 2010 vintage marked a historic quarter-century milestone for this flagship Bolgheri wine. Moreover, winemaker Axel Heinz crafted this vintage with surgical parcel selection to maximize terroir expression.
