VIP Chinese love Italian wine, especially Tuscan wine from the coast, and last year of RCR's clients longed to visit the Ornellaia estate.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
When several coincidences come together it also takes a good dose of luck, and my luck is called my friend Donna del Vino and sommelier Paola Rastelli who, while I was in Frankfurt for the international trade fair Ambiente, arranged a visit and tasting for clients in no time.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/div>\n
To my delight, I accompanied the distinguished guests on the fantastic wine tour to Bolgheri.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
A wonderful day, welcomed by Irene, wonderful hospitality manager who guided us to the <\/span>discovery of the historic vineyards around the estate and told about the philosophy based on quality and absolute attention to detail. The visit continued in the winery where the very strong connection with contemporary art is evident, which is expressed through the Vendemmia d'Artista project,<\/span> launched in 2009 with the 2006 vintage, which celebrates the exclusive character of each new Ornellaia vintage: a contemporary artist signs a work of art and a series of limited-edition labels, drawing inspiration from a word chosen by the winemaker that describes the character of the new vintage, and the works of the various artists are located along the tour route. In the barrique cellar, French oak houses and ages the various base wines that give rise to Ornellaia and Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia, the estate's second wine.<\/div>\n
