ORNELLAIA White Tuscany 2021 ORNELLAIA

From the vinification of 100% pure Petit Manseng grapes. A product of the Tuscan tradition that combines tradition and wise innovation. Upon arrival at the cellar, each harvest produced a vinification batch that was pressed and vinified separately. After a long and soft pressing, and a natural decantation of one night, the various batches were fermented in 100% new oak barriques at temperatures no higher than 22°C. Once the desired balance of sugars and alcohol was reached, the fermentation was stopped. Malolactic fermentation was not performed. After being racked, the wines spent 12 months of aging, after which the various batches were blended. After bottling, the wine was subjected to a further year of refinement before being introduced to the market.
