Description
Still white wine from Tuscany IGT, 13.5% ABV, produced by Ornellaia in Castagneto Carducci. 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. A wine born from Ornellaia's passion and dedication to creating a wine of excellence. The grapes were hand-harvested in 15 kg crates in the early hours of the morning and immediately chilled upon arrival at the cellar to preserve their full aromatic potential. On the nose, intense aromas of white-fleshed fruit unfold, accompanied by delicate notes of vanilla. Straw yellow. The entry into the mouth is broad and smooth, and the wine displays great richness and a pronounced savory character that leads to a fresh and persistent finish.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia was founded in 1981, in a beautiful, unspoiled part of Tuscany. From the outset, the mission was to produce outstanding wines. Since then passion and dedication, coupled with a unique terroir and an extraordinary microclimate, have brought the Tenuta dell'Ornellaia's prestigious labels great success and recognition as one of the most important wineries in the world.
Vision
A little more than 20 years ago, a revelation: the future of Italian viticulture had to take a new enological path, in search of absolute quality. To achieve this goal, the proper place, proper time, and best people were needed. This led to the idea of the Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, a place of infinite potential, cultivated with wisdom and experience by its "artists," who seek, with every vintage, a new masterpiece.
Philosophy
Production limited to the course of the year, harvesting by hand only after full ripeness, individual vinification for each vineyard, respect for a unique and precious terroir. These are just some of the choices made by Ornellaia, in a philosophy that has privileged quality from the very beginning. Thanks to women and men who put their arms, soul, head and heart into their work, all year round. And the results can be seen, but above all tasted... Read more
