Le Volte dell' Ornellaia 2018
Tuscany, ItalyLe Volte is Bolgheri-based Ornellaia's red blend, featuring a mix of two-thirds merlot, and 20 percent sangiovese, while the remaining 12-14 percent is cabernet sauvignon. The attack is typically generous, with a darker Bolgheri-style red coming to the fore with blackberry, blackcurrant mixed with a strong savoury, dried herb character and touch of balsamico. It's just a baby, but it will blossom over the next five to seven years. The grapes are fermented separately in small steel tanks before spending ten months partly in used Ornellaia barriques and cement tanks. There is no stone left unturned. Drink or hold through a decade and beyond. Good value.Tasted: 28 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $32.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
