Ornellaia 2018 “La Grazia”
The desire to nurture the Estate’s exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaia’s philosophy since the beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot and the faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature.
“Readers should expect a silky, aromatic Ornellaia in line with vintages such as 2004 that are more about finesse than raw power.”….. Antonio Galloni
Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia
Made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a true "second vin". A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot, it combines approachability and a depth of flavour with proven ageing potential.
“The 2018 Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is everything a second wine should be. Open-knit and silky, with impeccable balance and tons of sheer appeal, the 2018 is exquisite today.” …… Antonio Galloni
Le Volte dell’Ornellaia
Le Volte dell’Ornellaia combines a Mediterranean expression of generosity with structure and complexity, reflecting the philosophy of Ornellaia. Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is a fine wine for spontaneous wine lovers and needs no ceremony.

Rocche Costamagna
Tasting multi vintages of Barolo with Alessandro Locatelli in La Morra
Rocche Costamagna has a long glorious history dating back to 1841 when Luigi Costamagna was granted a Royal Decree to trade in wine with the grapes from his vineyard in La Morra. They went onto distinguish themselves by winning a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition Grand Prix in Turin in 1911. More than 30 countries participated in this Trade fair which attracted a staggering 4 Million visitors to this grand exhibition spread over 247 acres.
There can be few family wineries in the world today with such a long history dedicated to bottling and selling their own production. The jewel in the crown of their 14ha is one of the great Crus of the Langhe, Rocche dell’Annunziata.
Since the mid-1980s a direct descendant of the same family, Alessandro Locatelli, has been managing the winery with the help of agronomist Gian Piero Romana and enologist Giuseppe Caviola. Alessandro has truly taken quality at this fine estate to great heights, producing wines of ravishing charm, nuance and elegance.
Rocche dell’Annunziata
With no intention of disparaging the other Crus which are part of the Annunziata area of La Morra, Rocche dell’Annunziata…is indisputably the most renowned and highly regarded Cru of this sector.” – A. Masnaghetti
