ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia comes to life from the best terroirs of Bolgheri, a famous wine-growing area that has the merit of having generated great rosso wines. This wine bears the name of the renowned Ornellaia estate as the utmost care and passion is dedicated to it.
It is a cuvée that is the result of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc grapes, with harvesting strictly by hand and late, except for the Merlot, which lasts until almost the end of October. Selection is carried out in the vigna, with up to three harvest passes, but also in the cellar on a sorting table. After soft crushing of the grapes, vinification takes place separately, variety by variety, parcel by parcel. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats between 26 and 30°C, followed by maceration in contact with the skins for about 10-15 days. The wine then ages in barrique in Ornellaia's temperature-controlled cellar for 18 months, 12 months separately and then for a further 6 months following blending. An additional 12 months of bottle aging precedes release.
