The vines used for its vinification are represented by a complex Blend of grapes which are 64% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon , and 10% Cabernet Franc, as well as 9% Petit Verdot. The harvest for the refined Ornellaia cellar took place by hand in 15 kg boxes and the bunches were selected on a double sorting table before and after destemming and subjected to a soft pressing at the end. Each variety and parcel was vinified separately.The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at temperatures between 26-30°C for two weeks which was followed by maceration for about 10-15 days. Malolactic fermentation began in steel vats, and was completed after transfer to barriques (25% new and 75% second passage). The wine remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellar at a controlled temperature for a period of about 15 months. After the first 12 months, the blending was carried out and then reintroduced into the barriques where it spent another 3 months. The wine remains in the bottle for six months before being released on the market.
