Revealing the character of our latest vintage: #Ornellaia 2020 is "La Proporzione" (Proportion), a perfect balance between parts and the whole.
American conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth interprets this character for the 15th annual Ornellaia Vendemmia d'Artista.

Proper #pruning is an essential winter task that impacts where and how densely the grapes will grow, thus having a direct impact on the quality of the most important final result: our #wine.

[Ornellaia @Ornellaia]

#Pruning is the main activity in the #vineyard throughout January and February, while the vines are dormant. Shoots are removed from the vineyard and made into wood chips to be reused as compost or to feed our biomass boiler: nothing goes to waste.

[Ornellaia @Ornellaia]

#Pruning: work in the #vineyard has started up again as we prepare the earth and vines for the year ahead.

Ornus dell'Ornellaia is a late harvest #PetitManseng that develops additional sweetness & complexity by drying on racks in a temperature-controlled environment before pressing. Its aromas of amaretto, almond and exotic fruits call for your full attention.

Since 2011, every bottle of #Ornellaia and #OrnellaiaBianco has a unique "fingerprint" that constitutes a guarantee of authenticity. We invite you to authenticate your bottle of Ornellaia at any time on our website at https://t.co/5fFGojx3We

At #Ornellaia we have 2000 ancient olive trees growing side by side with the vines.
We've dedicated these first weeks of October to picking the Tuscan varieties of olives from which we make our own extra virgin olive oil, carrying on local tradition and encouraging biodiversity.

We've almost completed pumping over of the musts; this technique helps extract anthocyanins and tannins, providing greater complexity and structure to the finished wine. In addition, proper oxygenation is required to encourage complete fermentation.

While ageing, our white wines require daily attention as bâtonnage is carried out manually, barrel by barrel. Turning the fine lees encourages the extraction of flavours, aromas and the development of a rich texture.

With all our grapes safely inside, our cellarmaster Maurizio Peccianti performs a check of the fermentation room, where the vinification process is well on its way.
