Le Volte 2010
Tuscany, ItalyTenuta dell' Ornellaia's entry level red is Le Volte. In 2010 the blend is 50/30/20 merlot, sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon. The nose is savoury dry and cool and that demeanor carries on to the palate which is spicy with more acidity less generosity and more structure. At a minimum it needs time in the decanter if not another year or two in bottle. Some of the fruit is purchased and it is all aged in old Ornellaia barrels. Try this one with spaghetti Bolognese.Tasted: 19 May 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
