Ornellaia Le Volte 2018 Wine Tuscany Italy 70cl
Le Volte dell’Ornellaia combines the Mediterranean expression of opulence and generosity with structure and complexity. The approachable style of Le Volte dell’Ornellaia, a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, reflects the philosophy and savoir-faire of Ornellaia.
The wine was aged for 10 months, mainly in barriques used for Ornellaia and also in cement tanks in order to obtain the perfect balance of tannic structure and expression.

“Le Volte dell’Ornellaia 2018 perfectly reflects the characteristics of the vintage, revealing great elegance and balance. Its nose is wonderfully complex, very fruity with delicate floral and spicy notes. The tannic and smooth texture is striking on the palate, ending in a crisp and lively finish.” - Olga Fusari, Winemaker
