Ornellaia Bianco di Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is made from a blend of white grapes including Sauvignon Blanc. The harvest was carried out by hand in 15 kg crates. In the cellar, the bunches were further selected and subjected to soft pressing. Alcoholic fermentation of the must took place in 70% used and 30% new barriques. Ageing took place for 12 months in the same containers in contact with the fine lees plus a further 3 months in stainless steel tanks. After blending, the wine was transferred to bottles where it rested for 6 months before release.

ORNELLAIA WHITE TUSCAN ESTATE: THE TASTING

The taste is deep and intensely mineral, enhanced by an elegant freshness that lingers in the long finish. On the table it goes well with cheeses and rich vegetarian dishes as well as tasty seafood recipes with white fish, shellfish and crustaceans.
