Ornello

Ornello

A tribute to the buttero, the Maremma cowboy depicted on the label, Ornello takes its name from the long wooden stick traditionally used to steer livestock. A harmonious blend of native and international grape varieties, it stands out for a significant presence of Syrah grapes. Ornello has been included among the 100 best wines in the world according to Wine Spectator, a recognition that confirms its character and excellence.
