Tenuta Dell'ornellaia

Ornellaia Le Volte Dell

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. The entry point into the Ornellaia family, built for easy, everyday drinking rather than the cellar. With its signature ruby red hue and purple tinges, Le Volte dell'Ornellaia displays lively red fruit aromas alongside light spiciness. The wine is well balanced across all components on the palate, blending smooth tannins with refreshing acidity that lends real crunch. The varietals are fermented separately in small steel tanks to preserve their individual character, with malolactic fermentation also taking place in steel. The wine then ages 10 months, partly in barrique previously used for Ornellaia and partly in concrete tanks, a lighter touch regime built to balance tannic structure against fresh fruit.
