Ornellaia 2010 “La Celebrazione”: The 25th Anniversary Edition of a Bolgheri Legend
🍷 A Milestone of 25 Years: More Than Wine, a Work of Liquid Art
Established in 1985, Ornellaia was born from the magical terroir of Bolgheri. The 2010 vintage, “La Celebrazione” (The Celebration), marks the prestigious 25th-anniversary milestone of the estate. Each bottle of Ornellaia 2010 features a unique hallmark: a celebratory logo silkscreened in gold and ivory directly onto the bottle, replacing the traditional label to showcase unparalleled prestige and artistic value.
❄️ Exquisite Elegance: Exceptional Performance from a “Cool Vintage”
Winemaker Axel Heinz describes the 2010 vintage as one of the most elegant expressions of Ornellaia in recent years. Unlike typically hot summers, the cool climate of this growing season allowed for a slow, steady ripening of the grapes:
Exceptional Terroir: Cool nights encouraged the fine development of aromatic compounds, imparting remarkably crisp fruit and refined floral qualities that create a rich layering of flavors.
Exquisite Balance: Led by a blend featuring 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine achieves a perfect harmony between silky tannins and bright, clean-edged fruit.
❄️ Meticulous Craftsmanship: Precision in Every Drop
The creation of this wine stems from a devotion to perfection. After being hand-picked, grapes pass through a double sorting table for rigorous selection—both before and after destemming—to ensure only the highest quality fruit enters the fermentation process. Subsequently, the wine is aged in oak barriques (70% new) for 18 months and rests for an additional 12 months in the bottle before its official release.
