Description

Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is the estate's most approachable and convivial wine, and it wears that role beautifully. The nose is fresh and inviting, offering crunchy black cherry, blackberry and raspberry lifted by candied florals, a whisper of black pepper and balsamic herbs, with a subtle cedar-and-vanilla frame from ten months' ageing partly in used Ornellaia barriques and partly in concrete. Medium to full-bodied, it flows with silky ease across the palate, its ripe dark-berry fruit given shape by smooth, gently astringent tannins and a vibrant streak of fresh acidity that keeps everything buoyant. The finish is fruit-forward and persistent, with a spicy, savoury lift. An accessible, food-friendly Super Tuscan drinking well now and over the next decade, offering a genuine taste of the Ornellaia pedigree at an approachable price.
