Region: Toscana IGT, produced on the Tuscan coast near Bolgheri.
Producer: Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, one of Tuscany’s most prestigious estates, famed for Ornellaia and Masseto.
Le Volte is their “introductory” Super Tuscan — accessible in price, but made with the same care and quality as their flagship wines.
A Bordeaux-meets-Tuscany style blend:
Merlot (approx. 50%) – soft, round, plush fruit
Sangiovese (30%) – Tuscan freshness, red fruit, acidity
Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) – structure, dark fruit, spice
(Exact proportions vary by vintage.)
Color: Deep ruby red.
Nose: Intense and youthful – ripe black cherry, plum, cassis, and Mediterranean herbs, with hints of spice and cocoa.
Palate: Medium to full-bodied, silky tannins, vibrant acidity. Flavors of red and black fruits, licorice, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from oak.
Finish: Elegant, fresh, lingering with a balance of fruit and savory notes.
Fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity.
Aged about 10 months in a mix of oak barrels (some used) and concrete tanks, for both structure and freshness.
Very versatile Super Tuscan, perfect with:
Pasta with rich ragù (wild boar, beef, tomato-based)
Grilled or roasted meats (lamb, steak, pork)
Aged cheeses (Pecorino, Parmigiano)
Tuscan classics like bistecca alla fiorentina
