Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is one of Italy’s most famous wineries thanks to the vision and dedication of its founder Marchese Lodovico Antinori. He’s the brother of Piero Antinori who founded Tenuta Tignanello, and also happens to be the cousin of Mario Incisa della Rocchetta who founded Tenuta San Guido where Sassicaia is made. Given the ambition and competitiveness of his relatives, it’s not surprising that Lodovico was one of the first to produce top quality Super Tuscans in Tuscany’s coastal Bolgheri region.
