Made mostly with Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia reveals a luminous and transparent appearance with fresh aromas of passion fruit, citrus and green apple. The wine is very focused in this classic vintage with upfront acidity and pretty mineral notes. Ornellaia is one of the only estates to offer a Sauvignon Blanc in this part of Tuscany. This bottle is especially popular at the many local fish restaurants along the coast.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
From its position on the hillside close to Bolgheri, the Ornellaia Estate lies hidden amongst the foothills of the Mediterranean coast. The cool sea breezes caress the vineyards and its surrounding olive groves throughout the summer months, while instead, during the winter, the hills provide protection from the cold northern winds. Ornellaia believes that their wines should be produced to illustrate the truest expression of their original terroir. The diversity of the estate’s soils – marine, alluvial and volcanic – coupled with the maritime climate, create an environment in which red and white varietals flourish. The myriad of vineyard plots fit into this untouched landscape like a mosaic, creating a unique expression of beauty, complexity and elegance. However, experience, skill and determination of the Ornellaia team also plays a major role in enhancing the quality and reputation of Ornellaia. For it is the estate itself that provides a continual source of inspiration, suggesting exclusive and exciting ways to capture the property’s natural generosity.
