Le Volte dell' Ornellaia 2022

Tuscany, ItalyLe Volte dell'Ornellaia is designed for earlier consumption compared to the flagship Ornellaia due to its softer tannins and brighter fruit. The 2022 blend comprises 51% cabernet Sauvignon, 44% merlot, and 5% petit verdot, with an alcohol content of 13.0%. It has floral and light toast aromas and a palate that includes blackberries, red plums, dried herbs, and black olives. This wine can be consumed now or stored for future use. The 2022 vintage began cool and dry, resulting in a delayed bud break, followed by 75 consecutive days without rain. Although the crop was smaller, late summer rains and a dry fall contributed to a quality harvest. After fermentation, the wine ages for 10 months in both old Ornellaia barriques and concrete tanks.Tasted: 02 May 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
