The Toscana Bianco IGT "Poggio alle Gazze" by Ornellaia estate It comes from the vinification of a blend of grapes which are 61% Sauvignon Blanc, 23% Viognier, 14% Vermentino, and 3% Petit Manseng. The grapes were harvested by hand in 15 kg boxes in the early hours of the morning and immediately cooled upon arrival in the cellar to keep all their aromatic potential intact. After a careful selection, the whole bunches were subjected to slow and soft pressing with maximum attention to protection against oxidation. After a static decantation of approximately 12 hours, the musts were placed in 23% new barriques, 27% used, and 50% in steel, cement and wooden tanks. The alcoholic fermentation took place at temperatures not exceeding 22°C. Malolactic fermentation was not carried out. Maturation continued for 6 months on the lees with bâtonnage lasting for the entire period. Before bottling, the various batches were blended and a light clarification was carried out. The wine was then subjected to a further 12 months of bottle refinement before being introduced onto the market.
