The man behind the wines of Tuscany’s Ornellaia shares a joke with Good Food Revolution in Toronto at the tail end of November.
Whilst the Ornellaia name is synonymous with polished, top-quality Tuscan red wine, it’s markedly less often that one hears of the importance of the terroirs of the Ornellaia Bolgheri estate.
With a view to changing people’s understanding of the winemaking process at his estate, Oenologist and Estate Director Axel Heinz travelled to Toronto for a fascinating seminar breaking down of the component parts that go into both Ornellaia and its sister wine, Le Volte, stressing the importance of the differing terroirs in the final assemblage.

Ornellaia’s Axel Heinz and alo Sommelier Chris Sealy talk Cabernet Franc.
Edinburgh-born/Toronto-based Sommelier, consultant, writer, judge, and educator Jamie Drummond is the Director of Programs/Editor of Good Food Revolution… And that was a fascinating lunchtime tasting. Quite the eye-opener.
