Ornellaia was founded in 1981 undergoing several changes of ownership until it was taken over by the Frescobaldi family in 2005. Located near Bolgheri with around 192 hectares in total encompassing the vineyards, winery and the adjacent Bellaria property just North of Bolgheri. One of the driving forces of the Super Tuscan movement the estates Ornellaia, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is a seductive and evocative wine that has won much praise from wine critics and drinkers alike with its impressive colour, concentration and intensity of aroma and flavour. Other wines from the estate provide great quality also including the superb Le Serre Nuove and La Volte blends.

Petit Verdot is a red grape variety that is mainly used as a blending grape in Bordeaux-style wines. However, in recent years, it has gained popularity as a varietal wine in some regions, such as Argentina, Australia, and California.
Petit Verdot wines are known for their deep color, high tannins, and intense flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberry, black cherry, and black currant. They also often exhibit floral notes, such as violet and lavender, as well as herbal and spicy undertones.

The wines can be quite full-bodied and powerful, with a firm structure that can benefit from aging. They typically have a long finish and can pair well with hearty dishes such as red meats and stews.
