Le Volte dell' Ornellaia 2018

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:
