93 points “Bright and young on the nose smells like freshly-picked red cherries almost like sweets blackcurrant and cherry sweets braced by bramble fruits and soft perfume. Softly creamy and chalky on the palate strawberries and red cherries have a chalky texture and quite a perfume to the flavour profile. There is fruit there but then it's subdued a little by a savoury wood aspect sweet vanilla and spiced clove that edges the palate.” – Decanter
93 points “I like the Mediterranean flavours in this vintage.” – James Suckling
2020 was a hot vintage but Le Volte dell’Ornellaia shows no sign of that at all coming together with an effortless charm. Lively silky and brimming with soft red fruit and summer blackberries from the Merlot crème de cassis and dried herbs from the Cabernet Sauvignon roasted red pepper cherry plum leather and crumbled brick from the Sangiovese and festive spices and tobacco from the oak barrels. A joyous and very affordable glimpse into the legendary estate that creates Ornellaia.
Ornellaia is one of Tuscany’s most iconic wines and in the words of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate it’s “one of Italy’s blue-chip properties”. Founded in 1981 by Lodovico Antinori brother of Piero who created Tignanello control passed to Robert Mondavi and then on to Frescobaldi but despite this tumultuous history its popularity has never wavered. Located in Bolgheri in Maremma Ornellaia is a Bordeaux-inspired blend and one of the ultimate Super Tuscans. What makes it so exciting is that the blend can vary quite theatrically making it a many-faceted wine to collect.
