ORNELLAIA 2021. GENEROSITY
“Generosity”: this is the character of Ornellaia 2021, an icon of Bolgheri and of world wine, the result of a vintage of delicate balances, of water and sun, and of a “noble” land capable of giving the vines all its energy , joining that of the sea.

To interpret it, the historic Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, the "jewel" of the Frescobaldi Group, called on the renowned Italian artist Marinella Senatore, who worked on the theme through her chosen language, collage, in the "Vendemmia d'Artista" project , among the most important and prestigious patronage initiatives in Italy and in the world, which, in edition no. 16, to date has donated over $2.5 million to world culture to international cultural institutions.

The “Artist's Harvest” project was born with the 2006 harvest to support cultural projects.

Every year an international artist is invited to interpret the character of the vintage by creating a series of works that personalize the bottles.

At each edition a series of large formats (Double Magnum, Imperial and a Salmanazar) embellished by the artist are auctioned at Sotheby's.

The proceeds went to support restorations and museums and, for six years, has been donated exclusively to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in support of the innovative "Mind's Eye" program which allows blind or visually impaired people access to art.

Today "Vendemmia d'Artista" is a project recognized internationally for its cultural and transversal value.

A cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the Bolgheri Rosso Superiore Doc Ornellaia expresses every year the spirit of the parcels where it is born but each time it does so with its own personality.

In tune with the character of this year, Ornellaia 2021 embraces the taster with a magnificence of sensations. Persistent and vibrant, it brings with it a sensation of aromatic freshness and elegance that makes it an irresistible expression for enthusiasts and collectors.

The mild climate and rainfall in the first part of 2021 made it possible to build adequate water reserves in the lands of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia.

Precious water returned to the vines during the hot summer months characterized by almost no precipitation.

“Precisely the generosity of our soils, together with the precise work of the team in the vineyard, has led to the harvest of healthy grapes with great qualitative potential - explains Lamberto Frescobaldi, president of Marchesi Frescobaldi - and in honor of the nobility of this land, the character we have chosen for Ornellaia 2021 is the word "Generosity".

Marco Balsimelli, Ornellaia production director, also finds the character of the vintage in the glass: “Ornellaia 2021 is an extremely expressive and complex wine.

With hints of Mediterranean scrub, juniper berries and classic aromas of blackcurrant, the tasting corresponds to a wine with an important density and a fleshy tannic texture that fills the palate with precision, length and flavour".
