VINIFICATION: The grapes were handpicked in boxes of 15 kg each and selected manually before being destemmed and subjected to a light pressing. Alcoholic fermentation took place partly in medium-capacity wooden vats and partly in stainless steel vats, at a temperature not exceeding 30 ° C. Each variety and parcel was refined separately. The maceration lasted for 25-30 days after which the wine was racked into French oak barriques (70% new barriques, 30% second passage barriques) where the malolactic fermentation ended. The aging in barriques lasted for a total of 18 months in a temperature controlled environment at the Tenuta dell’Ornellaia cellar. After the first 12 months of aging, the assembly was carried out, after which the wine was reintroduced in the barriques for a further 6 months. The wine was then subjected to further refinement in the bottle for 12 months before being placed on the market.
