Tenuta Dell'Ornellaia le Volte 2011

750ML

Sku: 023891

Le Volte is the expression of a carefully crafted blend. The cuvee brings together the best terroirs of Tuscany and combines the Mediterranean expression of opulence and generosity with structure and complexity. The softness of Merlot, the firm structure and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon supported by the vivacious personality of Sangiovese, create a unique blend which reflects the integrity and style which inspire the philosophy of the Tenuta dell’Ornellaia Estate.

Review

Le Volte is the base wine. It’s the only wine that we produce with Sangiovese, 50% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. It is a very easy wine, I usually say that we can accompany the wine with all they typical Tuscan food, Florintina steak, or a plate of salumi, or pizza too because it’s a very easy wine to understand because it’s a fruity wine, and very fresh wine.

Rating

2009: 90 Points - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Black cherry, blueberry and floral aromas and flavors highlight this rich red. Its ample flesh coats the tannins, but there's structure underneath. Fine length. Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. "
