Visual

Deep straw yellow tinges.

Palate

This complex wine brings ripe fruit aromas such as peach and mango, paired with elegant almond blossom and toast nuances. These opulent and enticing flavours accompany a rich mouthfeel. The impeccable harmony among the various parts is testimony to a balanced wine that finishes on a savory and upbeat note.

Nose

Great complexity on the nose, revealing itself in the glass with yellow fruit, white floral and vanilla aromas.

Winemaking

The grapes were hand-harvested in 15 kg crates in the early hours of the morning and immediately cooled on arrival in the cellar to keep all their aromatic potential intact. Following careful selection, the whole grape clusters were subjected to slow and soft pressing with maximum attention to protection against oxidation. After static decantation lasting approximately 24 hours, the must was entirely placed in barrels – 25% new and 75% used – to carry out the alcoholic fermentation at temperatures not exceeding 22°C. In addition to 225-litre barriques, 320- and 600-litre tonneaux and cigar-shaped barrels were used. No malolactic fermentation was carried out. The ageing continued for 10 months on the lees with periodic batonnage over the entire period and concluded in steel vats for 2 more months. Before bottling, blending of the various batches was carried out, along with light fining. The wine was then aged in the bottle for a further 6 months before its introduction to the market.

Ornellaia Bianco was crafted alongside Ornellaia’s flagship wine and translates the essence of the estate’s terroir into a light-filled interpretation of the sun and sea of Bolgheri.
