The 2022 Ornellaia, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, shows concentrated dark fruit and vibrant energy from a hot, dry growing season balanced by beneficial late-season rain, giving a wine of ripeness with underlying freshness.
This bottling carries the 17th edition of Ornellaia's 'Vendemmia d'Artista' program: Cameroonian artist Pascale Marthine Tayou interpreted the 2022 vintage under the theme 'La Determinazione' (Determination), with a label of concentric circles in multiple
colors and a design inspired by a plant flowering through stone — one artist-labeled bottle is included per six-bottle case, with charitable proceeds benefiting the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, younger brother of Piero Antinori, in the coastal Bolgheri appellation of Tuscany; its flagship Cabernet-Merlot blend debuted with the 1985 vintage. Ownership passed to Robert Mondavi in
1999, then to Constellation Brands after its 2005 acquisition of Mondavi, which sold the estate the same year to the Frescobaldi family, Tuscany's other historic winemaking dynasty.
Frescobaldi has owned and operated Ornellaia since 2005.

Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Artist Pascale Marthine Tayou was invited to interpret the character of the 2022 vintage for the Vendemmia d’Artista project. In addition to creating a site-specific work, he styled a series of large-format bottles with his art. Furthermore, for the Bordeaux bottle, the artist designed a limited-edition label alongside the traditional label.
One “La Determinazione” artistic label can be found in every case containing six 750ml bottles of Ornellaia 2022.
Ornellaia continues to define the pinnacle of Italian fine wine, and the 2022 vintage, titled “La Determinazione” (Determination), reflects the resilience required to navigate a challenging growing season.
The year was marked by heat and drought conditions, demanding precise vineyard management and careful selection. This theme of determination is expressed both in the vineyard and in the wine—where concentration meets control, and power is balanced by freshness.
As part of Ornellaia’s Vendemmia d’Artista project, the label is designed by a contemporary artist, turning each bottle into a collectible piece that connects wine with art and storytelling.
The Bolgheri terroir—gravel soils, coastal breezes, and Mediterranean warmth—provides the ideal environment for Bordeaux varieties to achieve both ripeness and structure. In 2022, the wine shows intensity and depth while maintaining Ornellaia’s signature elegance.
