2021 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia, Tuscany, Italy

Description

Vibrant, giving, and full of life. The predominantly red fruit has soft, sweet edges, delicate balance, structure, and a pleasing tannic frame. A wonderfully defined nose of blackberry and spice, the palate jumping with juicy red and black cherry and bright red plum. 

There is real power here but not weighty; rather, textural and alive. Le Volte continues to punch well above its weight and offers a unique look at the wine-making prowess of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia. I wouldn’t hesitate to enjoy this.

Ready from the outset and keeping well until 2028/29.

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.
