DESCRIPTION
Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia owes its elegant Mediterranean style to the unique microclimate of the estate. This authentic gift of nature makes it possible to produce a wine, obtained mainly from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which boasts a sumptuous structure and ripe fruity notes combined in a style of great elegance.
Location Ornellaia - Bolgheri - Castagnetto Carducci (Li)
The grapes were harvested by hand in 15 kg crates early in the morning and immediately cooled upon arrival in the cellar to keep all the aromatic potential intact. After careful selection, the whole bunches were subjected to a slow and soft pressing with maximum attention to protection against oxidation. After a static decantation of about 12 hours, the musts were put in new barriques for 25%, used for 25%, and in steel, cement and wood tanks (50%). Alcoholic fermentation took place at temperatures no higher than 22 ° C. Malolactic fermentation was not carried out. The maturation lasted for 6 months on the lees with expired batonnage for the whole period.
Before bottling, the various batches were blended and lightly clarified. The wine was then subjected to a further refinement in the bottle for 12 months before being introduced on the market.
"2017 was a year characterized by heat and drought, but the early harvest of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, which took place in the first half of August and of Vermentini, also harvested before the end of the month, preserved the acidity and the aromatic components of white grapes, giving birth to wines of great freshness and depth. Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia 2017 has a bright straw yellow color, citrus notes stand out on the nose accompanied by hints of white flowers and boxwood. On the palate, it shows an excellent balance between freshness and persistence, closing in a long, lively and mineral finish. " Olga Fusari - Oenologist - May 2018.

ORNELLAIA ESTATE
Semi-hidden at the foot of the hills near Bolgheri, Ornellaia rises a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. In the summer months, the cool sea breeze caresses the vineyards and nearby olive groves, while in the winter the hills protect from the cold north winds. Ornellaia believes that a wine should be the most authentic expression of the terroir from which it comes and, right here, combined with the maritime climate, the heterogeneous nature of the land and the estate - of marine, alluvial and volcanic origin - creates a distinct environment where the varieties of red and white can express themselves at their best. The infinite vineyard plots fit into this pristine landscape like tiles in a large mosaic, creating a work of extraordinary beauty, complexity and elegance in a truly unique place. Experience, competence and determination have played their part in enhancing Ornellaia's quality and reputation, but it is the estate itself that is a constant source of inspiration, always suggesting new and exclusive ways to capture its great generosity.
