Poggio Alle Gazze 2014 - Toscana Bianco I.G.T. - Dell'Ornellaia
The Ornellaia production philosophy revolves around an obsession with excellence – at all levels. Every choice made is of absolute importance and implies an all-consuming attention to detail. At no point in the production process are shortcuts allowed or tolerated in order to succeed harvesting grapes and producing wines that are of the very highest quality irrespective of the climatic conditions in any particular year.
The vines for the Poggio Alle Gazze white wine grow in Ornellaia’s many vineyards in Bolgheri in Tuscany. The diverse nature of the soils in the vineyards – marine, alluvial and volcanic – coupled with a maritime climate create an environment in which the vine varietals can express themselves to the full.
The grape clusters were hand-picked in the early morning hours and immediately chilled on arrival at the cellar in order to fully preserve their aromatic compounds. After a meticulous quality selection, the whole clusters were given a very slow, gradual pressing, while great care was exercised to prevent oxidation of the fruit. After gravity settling the separate lots of must were put in barriques, in steel tanks or in concrete and oak vats. Fermentation temperatures did not exceed 22°C, and the wine did not go through malolactic fermentation. The wine matured on the fine lees for 6 months, with regular bâtonnage throughout the period, followed by the assemblage of the final blend. After a light fining, it rested an additional 12 months in the bottle before release.
