The pursuit of quality is the main production philosophy of the company. Consequently, every little action is important for the final result. During the harvesting phase, analysis and empirical tests make it possible to carefully choose the bunches to be harvested. Tasting of 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. The grapes are subjected to a double selection: a first sorting table to check the quality, then a second check 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 type of grape. Only after a year of aging in cask the base wines are blended in compliance with the two main criteria: the expression of elegance inherent in the spirit of Ornellaia and the style of the vintage.
