It began in the hot and sunny days of mid-August and finally, after almost two months, with the final grapes loaded on the tractor, today #harvest2020 at Ornellaia has concluded.

With all our grapes safely inside, our cellarmaster Maurizio Peccianti performs a check of the fermentation room, where the vinification process is well on its way. #Ornellaia

While ageing, our white wines require daily attention as bâtonnage is carried out manually, barrel by barrel. Turning the fine lees encourages the extraction of flavours, aromas and the development of a rich texture. #Ornellaia #batonnage

We've almost completed pumping over of the musts; this technique helps extract anthocyanins and tannins, providing greater complexity and structure to the finished wine. In addition, proper oxygenation is required to encourage complete fermentation. #Ornellaia #PumpingOver

At #Ornellaia we have 2000 ancient olive trees growing side by side with the vines. We've dedicated these first weeks of October to picking the Tuscan varieties of olives from which we make our own extra virgin olive oil, carrying on local tradition and encouraging biodiversity.

Since 2011, every bottle of #Ornellaia and #OrnellaiaBianco has a unique "fingerprint" that constitutes a guarantee of authenticity. We invite you to authenticate your bottle of Ornellaia at any time on our website at ornellaia.com/en/wines/authe…

Ornus dell'Ornellaia is a late harvest #PetitManseng that develops additional sweetness & complexity by drying on racks in a temperature-controlled environment before pressing. Its aromas of amaretto, almond and exotic fruits call for your full attention.

#Pruning: work in the #vineyard has started up again as we prepare the earth and vines for the year ahead. #bolgheri #wine

#Pruning is the main activity in the #vineyard throughout January and February, while the vines are dormant. Shoots are removed from the vineyard and made into wood chips to be reused as compost or to feed our biomass boiler: nothing goes to waste.

Proper #pruning is an essential winter task that impacts where and how densely the grapes will grow, thus having a direct impact on the quality of the most important final result: our #wine.

We are pleased to announce the confirmation of one #MichelinStar for Ristorante Ornellaia in #Zurich. Congratulations to Chef Antonino Colaianni and the entire staff.
