出身義大利最著名的葡萄酒世家Antinori家族，Lodovico Antinori在見識到表兄Mario Incisa della Rocchettai的Sassicaia，以及哥哥Piero Antinori的Solaia的成功之後，啓發了他也開創一家酒莊的夢想，於是在1980年代初也在Bolgheri創立了也是生產「超級托斯卡尼紅酒」的Tenuta dell'Ornellaia。
其葡萄園開始種植於1981年，第一個生產的年份是1985年。挾著Antinori家族強大的實力為後盾，本酒莊馬上一炮而紅，擠身全義大利最頂尖的波爾多型態紅酒的生產者之一，被譽為Bolgheri最厲害的三劍客之一。和酒莊同名的Ornellaia紅酒雖不是本酒莊最昂貴的產品，卻是最能代表本酒莊精神的招牌產品，採用Cabernet Sauvignon、Merlot、Cabernet Franc 和Petit Verdot等4個波爾多品種釀造，是標準的超級托斯卡尼紅酒；近年來，本酒莊還聘請到世界聞名的釀酒顧問Michel Roland來指導，讓品質維持在相當高的水準。從它上市以來，當然酒評家們給予好評不斷，還數度獲選入Wine Spectator年度百大，甚至1998年份在2001年勇奪年度百大第一名！
2015是義大利托斯卡尼20年來最好的年份之一，本酒莊評論說這是一個像標準教課書的經典年份。2019到

The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is a dark, exuberant and opulent wine that is teeming with flavor, ripeness and extract. That said, there is also a note of impurity that I only really locked in on when I went back to taste the wine at different time intervals later in the day and the next. To be clear, it was there upon first examination, but then it blew off. And then it came back. That game of hide and seek proved distracting and puzzling. I wondered if it was cork or barrel, although it did not behave like any of those things, and my doubt is recorded by the question mark next to my score. Once you get past that little blemish, you are instantly aware of the beauty and depth of the vintage. The wine is savory in terms of aromas and sweet in terms of tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon flavors of dried blackberry, toasted espresso and cured tobacco play leading roles.
