The Toscana Ornellaia Bianco di Tenuta dell'Ornellaia originates on the Tuscan coast of Bolgheri and is one of the most refined white expressions in the area. It is produced mainly from Sauvignon Blanc, with a small percentage of other white grape varieties grown in their own vineyards, characterised by skeleton-rich soils influenced by sea breezes. The harvest is manual and the grapes are harvested in several steps to ensure perfect ripeness and aromatic complexity. Winemaking takes place through fermentation and aging in French oak barriques, some of which are new, with subsequent aging on the lees, which gives structure, depth, and elegance. A further period in the bottle completes the harmony of the wine.
It appears to be a deep straw yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose it is complex and refined, with scents of ripe citrus, peach, exotic fruit and white flowers, accompanied by notes of vanilla, hazelnut, aromatic herbs and delicate mineral nuances. On the palate it is broad, rich and enveloping, with an important structure balanced by a fresh acidity and a marked flavour. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, with fruity and mineral returns that enhance its depth.
White wine of great class and personality, ideal for important occasions and moments of conscious tasting. It pairs beautifully with structured fish dishes, noble shellfish, refined white meats, complex risottos and medium-aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its complexity and elegance, a service temperature of 10/12°C is recommended.
