Ornellaia Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2019

A ruby-red hue with vivid red berry and rosy petals on the nose, 2019's Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is a harmonious and expressive wine. Dense tannins and dynamic acidity indulge the palate with a fulfilling, embracing experience - a deeply satisfying and pleasurable indulgence.

Decanter: 90
Rosemary, sage and underbrush on the attack. Tight, extremely spicy, this feels full of freshly cut herbs with touches of earth. A cold start to the season meant late budding then a hot season later, giving an opulence in the final glass. This is bottled a year earlier than the others two reds, and is a little more open. Blending takes place after ageing, with ageing in a mix of oak barrels and cement. Drinking Window 2022 - 2030.

This is very Mediterranean in character with sage and rosemary to the blackberry and tar aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with medium, chewy tannins and a savory finish. Black-pepper undertones with cloves. Drink now.

The 2019 Le Volte shows good freshness in its flavors of tangy cherry and crunchy blackberry. Hints of smoke and savory herbs lend complexity to the lively fruit tones.
