ORNELLAIA le VOLTE DELL’ORNELLAIA 2022

Ornellaia Estate is one of the great names of Tuscany and their "Super Tuscan" wines Ornellaia and Masseto are world classics. Le Volte is the 'second' wine of those two great wines and often referred to as "Baby Ornellaia". Le Volte dell'Ornellaia combines the Mediterranean expression of opulence and generosity with structure and complexity. 

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Instantly enjoyable, versatile and playful, Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is all about conviviality. This bright red wine opens the door to the world of Ornellaia and simply shares the passion for quality that is experienced every day on our estate and with every sip.

Displaying a deep purple red, Le Volte dell’Ornellaia 2022 shows ripe fruity aromas such as cherries and blackberries, in addition to black pepperiness. The palate is generous with considerable body at first, followed by smooth and enduring tannins. Upbeat freshness and pleasurable fruity aromas make up the finish.

The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their characteristics. The alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months, partly in barriques used previously for Ornellaia and partly in concrete tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between tannic structure and the expression of fresh fruit."

"Very aromatic, with raspberry, orange peel and floral aromas. Nice transparency. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crisp, crunchy finish. "

92/100 Wine Spectator (2022 Vintage)
"A fresh, expressive red, this also exhibits tension, lending energy to its black currant, cherry, licorice and cedar flavours. Graphite and salty accents add detail on the long, tightly wound finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2033."
