Description
Since its introduction over 30 years ago, Le Volte dell’Ornellaia has become a benchmark for fine Tuscan wine in its own right. Half the blend sees six months of oak-ageing in French barrique, giving a polished frame and some sweet oak seasoning. Fresh and fruity on the palate, the ’20 vintage has supple and gentle tannins with dark cherry, cranberry and smoky blackberry characters. There is refreshment and restraint – a nod to the great winemaking talents behind this label.

About this wine
Ornellaia
Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is located in one of the world’s most exciting wine regions: Bolgheri. A breathtaking avenue lined by towering cypress trees leads inland from the Aurelia, the old Roman coastal road, up to the walls of Bolgheri’s medieval hamlet. From the village the view extends far out to sea and on a clear day the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago and Corsica can be seen. The mild maritime climate and the lush Mediterranean vegetation leave an imprint upon the character of the wines. Tenuta dell’Ornellaia's unique territory guides all aspects of production: limited quantities to ensure maximum quality, attention to every detail, selective hand harvesting, microvinification and ageing.
