Regular price $72

Ornellaia's spirited everyday wine captures the warmth and vitality of Bolgheri in a glass. Le Volte dell'Ornellaia blends Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon from sun-drenched gravelly vineyards, delivering red and dark berries, fresh violet and subtle herbal whispers. The 2023 is all charm and immediacy silky tannins and bright acidity dance across the palate with effortless grace, finishing long and harmonious. This is Tuscan wine that doesn't overthink itself: pour it, enjoy it, share it. Elegant enough for the table, approachable enough for any moment worth celebrating.

(On the 2022) This is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. In this hot vintage, the Merlot was slightly reduced. The Ornellaia 2022 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia remains a plush and accessible Tuscan red. Harvest time saw lower yields on average, with smaller berries and greater fruit concentration. This wine matures in used oak passed down from the top-shelf wines. There is blackberry and dark cherry with sweet spice. 92Pts, Drink 2024-2029, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
