Ornellaia
Philosophy
The company's production philosophy focuses on a single objective: quality. Each choice therefore takes on extreme importance and implies absolute attention to detail. At no stage of the production process are shortcuts allowed: this is our way of working and this is how we manage to obtain the best grapes based on the climatic characteristics of each vintage.

During the harvest phase, analyzes and empirical tests allow us to carefully choose the bunches to harvest. Tasting the grapes allows you to better evaluate the ripeness of the tannins and the balance of the bunches, to establish the best time for the harvest and the winemaking technique for the grapes of each plot. We subject the grapes to a double selection: a first sorting table to verify the quality, then a second control to remove any residual vegetation.
The grapes of each cru ferment separately, since each base wine contributes to the creation of the final blend, by virtue of the specific conditions of the vineyard of origin: combination of soil, climatic exposure and of course the type of vine. Only after a year of barrel aging are the base wines assembled in compliance with the two main criteria: the expression of elegance inherent in the spirit of Ornellaia and the style of the vintage.
