Tasting notes
The Ornellaia 2023 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia, a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, reveals a rich, chewy core of dark, sweet fruit, with blackberry tart and pitted prune on the bouquet that clearly signal the warmth of the vintage. Softness and sweetness follow on the palate, but the level of ripeness goes overboard, in my view, especially given the rather watery mid-palate, detracting from the wine’s natural grace and instead delivering a heavy impression accented by background notes of bitter tea leaf.

About this wine
Tenuta Dell’Ornellaia is a renowned Italian winery located in the heart of Tuscany. Founded in 1981, the estate is renowned for its production of high-quality wines, including the iconic Le Volte. This wine is a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, grown in the estate’s vineyards in Bolgheri. The grapes are carefully selected and vinified separately, before being blended together to create a complex and balanced wine.
Le Volte is a medium-bodied red wine with a deep ruby colour. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, as well as hints of spices and herbs. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with a good structure and a long finish. The wine is best enjoyed with grilled meats, pasta dishes and mature cheeses, making it the perfect accompaniment to any meal.
