ORNELLAIA Vendemmia d’Artista: Expressing Wine Through Art

Wine collectors and art collectors converged for a night of elegance at the Ornellaia Vendemmia d'Artista at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. For the wine lovers out there, Ornellaia is known as one of the great Super Tuscan wines. But in addition to making exquisite Bordeaux-style wines, Ornellaia is also a patron of the arts. With a passion for the arts, Ornellaia created the Vendemmia d'Artista with the goal to inspire and generate emotion. Beginning in 2009, with the 2006 vintage, contemporary artists of international renown from Italy, New York, Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Toronto and Basel have been selected to create a work of art and a series of limited edition labels that are inspired by a single word chosen by the winemaker to describe that vintage.
