Seven hectares of blue clay on a hill above Ornellaia, planted to Merlot in 1984 almost by accident. It became Italy’s answer to Pétrus, and the only Italian wine traded like a first growth.

What the cellar holds

In the cellar: 1996, 1998 (bottle and magnum), 1999, 2004 (100 points), 2005, 2011 to 2020, magnums of 2018, and the complete vertical of 2007 to 2021 in three-bottle cases.

Vintages in the cellar

Croian & Hein places bottles like this one with a small circle of collectors in Switzerland: discreetly, by appointment, and with the condition of every bottle described plainly before it travels.
