"Quality', 'absolute attention to detail', these are the cornerstones on which the company's philosophy is based. Every choice takes on extreme importance. No shortcuts are allowed at any stage of the production process: this is the only way to obtain the best grapes according to the climatic characteristics of each vintage.
At harvest time, analyses and empirical tests allow the grapes to be carefully selected for picking. Tasting the grapes makes it possible to best assess the ripeness of the tannins and the balance of the clusters, to determine the best time for harvesting and the winemaking technique for the grapes of each plot. The grapes undergo a double selection process: a first sorting table to check quality, then a second check to remove any residual vegetation.
The grapes from each cru are fermented separately, as 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, type of grape variety. Only after a year of barrel ageing are the base wines blended in accordance with two main criteria: the expression of elegance inherent in the spirit of Ornellaia and the style of the vintage.
