Ornellaia's "Le Volte" brings the estate's commitment to opulence to an every day price point. Like Ornellaia, "Le Volte" takes advantage of Bolgheri's unique soils (marine, alluvial, and volcanic) and Tuscan climate. Combined with an obsession with excellent in the vineyard, cellar, and beyond, one can easily taste how far above its price point this wine drinks.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
The 2023 Le Volte Dell'Ornellaia is a saturated red/ruby color and is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, raised in used barrels for around 10 months. Always a wine leaning into the fruity and approachable side of things, the nose is fruity and fresh with aromas of candied flowers, crushed raspberries, red apples, and fresh stony earth. Medium to full-bodied, it’s very elegant with a joyful ease. It’s a great snapshot into these wines, which are mighty tasty now and have a lot of character. Drink 2025-2035. (AF)

A fruit-forward wine with aromas of ripe, jammy plums balanced by floral notes. Juicy and light-bodied, it shows an easy-drinking style with light tannins, crisp acidity and good balance. Drink now.

The 2023 Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is a total delight. Fresh, aromatic and vibrant, Ornellaia’s Sangiovese-based blend delivers the goods in an affordable package. A burst of bright, red-toned fruit opens first, followed by scents of tobacco, cedar and dried herbs. This classy, polished red is very nicely done. There’s a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend these days, and it works quite well. (AG)
