Le Volte 2021

Intro: Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is the approachable yet quality driven red from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, designed to express the estate’s ethos of elegance, Mediterranean character and versatility. The 2021 vintage delivers lively red fruit, subtle spice and a well balanced palate of fine tannins and refreshing acidity. Although Le Volte is considered the “entry” red of the Ornellaia family, the 2021 vintage still benefits from vinification and ageing techniques used in the estate’s flagship wines (e.g., use of barriques previously for the top cuvée)

Tasting Notes: The 2021 Le Volte, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia displays a bright ruby red hue with purple tinges. The nose is lively, offering red cherry, raspberry, violet, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs and spice. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied with supple tannins, fresh acidity, and a juicy red-fruit core. The finish is clean, vibrant, and satisfying
