Le Volte dell’ Ornellaia 2021

Coming from the makers of Ornellaia, one of the most sought-after wines in the world, Le Volte is a meticulously crafted blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and native Sangiovese. This 2019 vintage is expressive, with attractive aromas of cranberry and violets, leading to flavours of dark cherry and sweet spice on the palate. Tannins are youthful and chalky (but beautifully woven), foreshadowing a bright, crunchy acidity on the finish. This is a fabulous wine for food; it would pair wonderfully with dishes like osso buco or slow-roasted lamb with rosemary potatoes, as well as hard cheeses.
