The vines used for its vinification are represented by a complex blend of grapes that for 64% are of Merlot, for 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc, as well as 9% Petit Verdot. The harvest for the refined Ornellaia winery 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 crushing at the end. Each variety and parcel was vinified separately. The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at temperatures between 26-30 ºC for two weeks followed by maceration of about 10-15 days. The malolactic fermentation began in steel vats, and came to an end after the transfer in barriques (25% new and 75% second pass). The wine remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellar at controlled temperature for a period of about 15 months. After the first 12 months it was assembled and then reintroduced in barriques where he spent another 3 months. The wine remains in the bottle six months before being placed on the market.
