Description
Ornus dell'Ornellaia, a sweet wine from a late harvest of Petit Manseng, is cultivated in small plots among the company's red grape vineyards. It is inspired by 'Fraxinus Ornus', the Latin term for the Orniello, also known as the 'manna ash' tree for its precious sap of biblical memory, which alludes to the sweetness of this wine. The Orniello is also the tree to which Ornellaia owes its name.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia was founded in 1981, in a beautiful, unspoiled part of Tuscany. From the outset, the mission was to produce outstanding wines. Since then passion and dedication, coupled with a unique terroir and an extraordinary microclimate, have brought the Tenuta dell'Ornellaia's prestigious labels great success and recognition as one of the most important wineries in the world.

To achieve this goal, the proper place, proper time, and best people were needed. This led to the idea of the Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, a place of infinite potential, cultivated with wisdom and experience by its "artists," who seek, with every vintage, a new masterpiece.
Philosophy

These are just some of the choices made by Ornellaia, in a philosophy that has privileged quality from the very beginning. Thanks to women and men who put their arms, soul, head and heart into their work, all year round. And the results can be seen, but above all tasted... Read more
