Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2023 opens with ripe blueberry and blackberry aromas. Generous and enticing flavors ensue and complement a beautiful balance between breadth and freshness. An enduring finish goes hand in hand with silky tannins that elevate the wine’s elegance.
Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot
The 2023 Le Volte Dell'Ornellaia is a saturated red/ruby color and is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, raised in used barrels for around 10 months. Always a wine leaning into the fruity and approachable side of things, the nose is fruity and fresh with aromas of candied flowers, crushed raspberries, red apples, and fresh stony earth. Medium to full-bodied, it’s very elegant with a joyful ease. It’s a great snapshot into these wines, which are mighty tasty now and have a lot of character. Drink 2025-2035. - 93pts Jeb Dunnuck
Matured partly in used Ornellaia barriques and partly in concrete, the 2023 Le Volte has seductive aromas of dark cherry compote and raspberry coulis with a waft of balsamic herbs. In the mouth there's good concentration of fruit and a silky flow, with crunchy dark berries and a vibrant streak of that raspberry coulis. It's all brought together by fresh acidity and a breezy, if slightly astringent, finish. - 91pts Decanter
