Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2019

After the hand-harvested harvest, the bunches are selected on a double sorting table, before and after destemming. Each variety and each parcel is vinified separately. The alcoholic fermentation takes place partly in stainless steel vats, partly in cement vats at temperatures of 26-30°C for a week; followed by maceration for approximately 15 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place mainly in oak barriques (70% new and 30% second passage). The wine remains in barriques in the Ornellaia cellar at a controlled temperature for a period of approximately 18 months. After the first 12 months, assembly is carried out and then reintroduced into the barriques where it rests for another 6 months. The wine remains in the bottle for another 12 months before being released on the market.
