Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC

Each grape variety and each vineyard parcel was vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation, lasting one week in stainless steel tanks at temperatures of 26-30°C, was followed by a total maceration period of approximately 10-15 days. Malolactic fermentation took place primarily in oak barriques (70% new and 30% first-fill). The wine matured for approximately 18 months in barriques in the temperature-controlled cellars of the Ornellaia estate. Ornellaia is one of the renowned Super Tuscan wines. After the first 12 months, the wines were blended and aged for a further 6 months in barriques. Release to the market followed 12 months of bottle aging. The late ripening of the grapes allowed the fruit to fully develop its vibrancy and freshness. What is particularly surprising is the high quality of the tannins on the palate: soft, refined, and seamless. This year's vintage represents the core of the Ornellaia winery's philosophy, "L'Essence": its natural style, the exceptional quality of its terroir, and the skill of those who work in the vineyards and cellar. Shipping is also available in the original 6-bottle wooden case!
