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！

The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia is complete and seamlessly stitched together with extreme care and precision. This is an almost technical blend of Merlot (at 50% of the blend for the first time), 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot that offers a true sense of wholeness and consistency that speaks to the blending expertise and experience of the winemaking team. Finding harmony among the various vinous components of the wine was especially important in this vintage that prized early-ripening grapes like Merlot over the others. Blackberry and dried cherry segue to spice, tar, campfire ash and more sweet fruit. We're off to a great start, and this vintage of Ornellaia is surely destined to flesh out and grow more complex with age.
