Le Volte dell’Ornellaia, Toscana Rosso IGT Bottle $95.00 Area: Tuscany/Toscana
Alc. 13% vol.Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Displaying a deep purple red, Le Volte dell’Ornellaia shows ripe fruity aromas such as cherries and blackberries, in addition to black pepperiness. The palate is generous with considerable body at first, followed by smooth and enduring tannins. Upbeat freshness and pleasurable fruity aromas make up the finish.
Vinification and Aging
The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their varietal characteristics. The alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel
tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months, partly in barrique used previously for Ornellaia and partly in concrete tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between tannic structure and an expression of fresh fruit. -
