In the course of the livestream, property director, Axel Heinz described the 2020 as ‘a traditional Ornellaia’. He additionally famous that, ‘for as soon as, it was our solely precedence as a result of we had nothing else to do,’ referring to the consequences of a number of lockdowns that yr.
The 2020 classic
The tip of March noticed some frost, though the vine shoots escaped injury, in contrast to at Sassicaia.
Mid-June noticed some excessively moist climate, however then it was dry and sizzling till the top of August. Cooling rains on the finish of the month gave the Merlot time to completely ripen earlier than choosing, which occurred within the first half of September.
A heat-spike shortly after all of the Merlot was in led the workforce to start choosing the remainder of the grapes to keep away from excessive sugar ranges – choosing of the youthful vines of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon commenced on 17 September.
Rainfall on the finish of September normalised the temperature and introduced the potential alcohol right down to typical ranges. The final grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot have been picked on 3 October.
A usually earlier-ripening classic alongside the traces of 2000 and 2012.

<h2>Ornellaia 2020: in the cellar</h2>
<p>Each grape variety and plot were vinified separately, in a mixture of stainless steel and concrete tanks at temperatures between 26 and 30°C.</p>
<p>Maceration followed, lasting 15 days, before racking to oak barrels (70% new) for malolactic fermentation.</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-4" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<p>Maturation took place in French oak barriques for 12 months before blending, then a further six months once assembled. After bottling, the wine matured for an additional 12 months.</p>
<p>It was revealed during the launch that 2020’s theme is ‘La Proporzione’ (proportion). ‘In 2020,’ explained Axel, ‘all grape varieties expressed themselves very well…everybody felt that each grape could give a very important contribution’.</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-5" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<p>The blend in 2020 is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot – the biggest percentage of Cabernet Franc since 2016 and a return to a more typical blend following the pendulum swings of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon in 2019, and 51% Merlot in 2018.</p>
<p>Intense, ripe and concentrated, it has grainy tannins which are well integrated, and balancing balsamic freshness. Clearly youthful, it&#8217;s yet to develop full complexity in the mouth – this will come with time – but the array of aromas gives a hint of what is to come.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Developments</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Towards the end of the live-stream, Axel admitted that he’s considering incorporating ‘southern varieties’ into Ornellaia to combat the effects of climate change. Not shy of change, he masterminded the inclusion of Cabernet Franc in stablemate Masseto last year for the first time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The team are also experimenting with amphorae, although it is still early days and we are yet to see any results or any indication as to which wines might be involved. </p>
