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:

Tuscany, ItalyLe Volte the little brother to Ornellaia, the iconic Super Tuscan. This red blend is based on merlot, with 20 percent sangiovese, and the remainder cabernet sauvignon. Each were fermented separately in stainless, and then rested 10 months in a mix of old Ornellaia barriques and cement. Quite polished and refined with ample and plump black cherry, blackberry, raspberry, young leather, and fine peppery spice drawn long along the palate to a gently spiced finish. Very elegant, even now in youth, this 'baby Ornellaia' can certainly stand alone.Tasted: 30 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:
