Super Tuscan Le Volte Dell' Ornellaia, Toscana IGT 2023 / 4 bottles

$136.00

Region & Producer

  • 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.

Grape Blend

  • 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.)

Style & Tasting Notes

  • 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.

Winemaking

  • 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.

Food Pairings

  • 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
