Ornellaia 1986

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Ornellaia 1986 – VINO DA TAVOLA DI TOSCANA Druer: 79 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc (producentens tekniske ark). Intro (producentens tekst, engelsk): The desire to nurture the Estate’s exceptional qualities has shaped Ornellaia’s philosophy since the beginning. Ornellaia is a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot and the faithful expression of unique terroir developed in harmony with nature. Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): The climate for the 1986 vintage was characterised generally by a fairly dry season with high temperatures during the final phases of berry ripening. This produced very healthy fruit with good concentration. The harvest was carried out entirely by hand, and the grapes were collected in baskets holding no more than 15 Kg. The harvest began on the 15th of September and was continued until the 26th of September. Vinifikation og lagring (producentens tekst, engelsk): Temporary vinification facilities located at Tenuta San Guido. The fermentation and maceration period lasted for 13 days and was carried out in 40 Hl stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation took place as soon as the wine had finished its alcoholic fermentation. The 1986 wines were aged in French oak barriques of 225 litre (of which 60% were new oak and 40% once used) from February 1987 until June 1988 (17 months). This period was followed by 12 months of bottle ageing before release.
