The history of Ornellaia is characterised by vision and determination. Founded in 1981 on an exceptional terroir in Bolgheri, Italy, the Ornellaia estate has consistently been dedicated to excellence. It plays a leading role in the development of expressive wines and is committed to sustainable practices. The estate is owned by the Frescobaldi family, and numerous staff members have contributed to the company’s success over the years.

The President of Ornellaia, Marquis Ferdinando Frescobaldi, and the CEO, Giovanni Geddes da Filicaja, who has held this position since 1999, lead the estate with precision and dedication. Four decades after its foundation, the name Ornellaia is synonymous worldwide with the Italian way of life and symbolises a commitment to a style that endures beyond passing fashions – a lasting legacy.

Eligo Grappa, produced by the renowned Ornellaia estate, epitomises excellence in the art of grappa production. Carefully selected grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot varieties are used to produce this fine spirit. Distillation takes place traditionally in copper stills, a method renowned for its ability to preserve the delicate aromas and purity of the grappa.

After distillation, the grappa is aged for three years in former Ornellaia wine casks, which not only lends it depth and complexity but also subtle woody notes that enrich its flavour profile. To further enhance the quality, this grappa is then blended with selected grappas from older vintages.

Eligo dell’Ornellaia Grappa Riserva is an outstanding example of the finest Italian distilling craftsmanship.
