Winemaker notes- 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. The climate for the 1993 vintage was characterised by an abnormally hot Spring with moderate rainfall which resulted in the early flowering of the Merlot on 15th May. During the Summer months, the temperatures were high, and the weather was stable. The harvest was carried out entirely by hand, and the grapes were collected in baskets holding no more than 15 Kg. The Merlot was harvested from the 5th to the 11th of September. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the soils with more clay were harvested from the 20th of September to the 6th of October, while the Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc from the other soils were harvested between the 13th and the 25th of September. Attention was given to careful grape selection and the grapes brought to the cellars were in excellent condition with 22.5-25 degrees Brix.
