The history of Ornellaia is characterised by vision and determination. Founded in 1981 on an excellent terroir in Bolgheri, Italy, the Ornellaia winery has been continuously committed to excellence. It takes a leading role in the development of expressive wines and is committed to sustainable practices. The winery is owned by the Frescobaldi family, and numerous employees 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, manage the winery with precision and commitment. Four decades after its foundation, the name Ornellaia stands for the Italian way of life worldwide and symbolises an aspiration for a style that transcends temporal fashions - a lasting legacy.

Eligo Grappa, produced by the renowned Ornellaia winery, stands for 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 distillate. Distillation is carried out traditionally in copper stills, a method known for its ability to preserve the fine flavours and purity of grappa.

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

Eligo dell' Ornellaia Grappa Riserva is an outstanding example of the finest Italian distillate art.
