Fratini
In the splendid setting of Tuscany, a land of history and winemaking tradition, stands the Fratini winemaking project. A name that evokes elegance and refinement, dedicated to the selection of crus and fine wines from the most suitable areas of Italy. In this region, where the hills seem painted with brush strokes of green, Fratini stands out for its exclusive approach, which combines the search for stylistic and aesthetic perfection with a deep passion for wine.
Tuscany, with its generous sun and varied soil, offers the ideal stage for the cultivation of noble grapes such as Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Fratini, with a careful eye on quality, transforms these grapes into wines of great character and personality. Among the main labels, the Supertuscans stand out, which embody innovation and excellence, and the Brunello selections, a pure expression of the territory and tradition.
Fratini's Bolgheri is a hymn to complexity and structure, a wine that reveals intense aromas of red fruits and spices, with a persistent and harmonious finish. Each bottle is the result of obsessive attention to detail, a journey that begins with the choice of the best plots up to the creation of a unique tasting experience.

THE COMPANY
It was in 1981 that the Marquis Lodovico Antinori, cousin of Piero Antinori, founded the Tenuta Ornellaia, in the heart of the Bolgheri area, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. With the first vintage of 1985, what became an icon among the SuperTuscan was born: the "Ornellaia", put on the market three years later, in 1988. With the inauguration of the company, the world-renowned winemaker, Michel Rolland, begins to take care of the technical part of the cellar. Subsequently, in the 90s the other two labels were born: "Le Volte" and "Le Serre Nuove". At the beginning of 2000, Robert Mondavi, the great Californian producer, acquired the Estate, then selling 50% to the Marchesi de 'Frescobaldi, who will buy the other 50% only three years later. The end of the 2000s also saw the birth of the "Poggio alle Gazze" label, which will be followed by the carefully selected late-harvest wine "Ornus", obtained from purely pure-grained petit manseng grapes. A mythical winery, therefore, to which the credit goes to have written the history of Bolgheri. With almost one hundred hectares of vineyards, to which another thirteen are added for rent, Tenuta Ornellaia has always focused on one and the same objective: quality. All decisions, all choices, take into account every minimum and smallest detail, and from the vineyard to the final bottling, no shortcuts are allowed. During the harvest, only the finest and most balanced bunches are selected and harvested, then in the winery processed separately, according to the cru of provenance. Then a year of rest in cask, and following the composition of the blend: everything is aimed at enhancing every little nuance of the terroir, and to enhance the expression of every single vintage, always respecting the continuity of what can be considered the " Ornellaia style ", synonymous with experience, competence and determination, which translates into the complexity and elegance of the glass difficult to match.
