The desire to express the exceptional qualities of the estate has been the basis of Ornellaia's philosophy from the very beginning. Ornellaia Bianco is a blend with a majority of Sauvignon Blanc, the result of three small vineyards that have demonstrated their extraordinary ability to express the unique character of Ornellaia.
The grapes are harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning and immediately cooled upon arrival in the cellar to keep all the aromatic potential intact. After a careful selection, the whole bunches are subjected to a slow and soft pressing with maximum attention to protection against oxidation. After a static decantation of about 24 hours, the musts are put entirely in barriques, for the new 30% and for the 70% used, to carry out the alcoholic fermentation at temperatures not exceeding 22 ° C. The maturation continues for 12 months on the lees with periodic batonnage for the whole period and ends in steel tanks for another 3 months. Before bottling, the various batches are assembled and lightly clarified. The wine is then subjected to a further refinement in the bottle for 6 months before being placed on the market.
Ornellaia Bianco, with its bright yellow color with green reflections, presents itself to the nose of beautiful complexity and unexpected aromatic intensity. Characterized on the nose by aromas of exotic fruits and fresh citrus notes, the taste is particularly striking an almost silky sensation, accompanied by a pleasant freshness that ends in a long and elegant finish.
Excellent in combination with both steamed and smoked fish, it also goes well with shellfish, spaghetti with clams, battered vegetables and medium-aged cheeses.
