WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is produced through separate fermentation of its constituent grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot) in small steel tanks. Following fermentation, malolactic fermentation is carried out in steel tanks. The wine then matures for 10 months, with a portion aging in used barriques that previously held Ornellaia, and the remainder in concrete tanks. This process is designed to preserve the fruit's character while developing a smooth texture and balanced structure.
