Description
The Toscana Bianco IGT “Poggio alle Gazze” from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is produced through a blend of grapes, with 61% Sauvignon Blanc, 23% Viognier, 14% Vermentino, and 3% Petit Manseng. After careful selection, whole clusters undergo slow and gentle pressing with maximum attention to preventing oxidation. Following a static settling for approximately 12 hours, the musts are placed in new barrels (23%), used barrels (27%), and in stainless steel, concrete, and wooden tanks (50%).Maturation is extended for 6 months on the lees with periodic stirring (bâtonnage) throughout the period. Before bottling, a blend of various batches is made, and a slight clarification is performed. The wine then undergoes additional bottle aging for 12 months before being introduced to the market.
