Le Volte 2024 Tenuta dell' Ornellaia

Le Volte 2024 is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine produced in Bolgheri in Tuscany, blended with Merlot and Petit Verdot and made by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia. 

The nose is bright and floral, while the palate offers notes of sweet red cherries and a subtle hint of mint. It is light-footed and refined, with a smooth texture and gentle structure. The finish is refreshing and subtly lingering. It is best enjoyed through 2032, though it is ready to drink now without extensive decanting.

Over recent years in Bolgheri, it has become clear just how significantly this region is affected by temperature. 2020 was hot and dry, while in 2022, much hotter weather brought the harvest forward. Across this appellation, reliance on new oak barrels and casks is gradually decreasing, as this style better suits wines built on freshness rather than oak aromas.

Best enjoyed by 2032. Since the tannins are already soft, decanting for about 30 minutes is sufficient. Serve at 16-18°C.
