Le Volte Dell’Ornellaia Toscana 2020 750ml

A wine that Tenuta Ornellaia in Tuscany envisions as elegant and delectable, fit to spin and spin like a swallow in the sky. A mix consisting of 67% Merlot, 13% Sangiovese, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon is used in the vinification process. Every blend had its own vinification process, carried out in tiny steel tanks with consideration for the unique characteristics of each varietal during the fermentation stages. Malolactic fermentation occurs in steel tanks after the alcoholic fermentation. To achieve the ideal balance between tannic structure and fruity expression, the age process lasted 10 months, with half of that time spent in cement tanks and the other half in barriques that had previously been used for Ornellaia.

It appears to be a deep ruby red when examined organoleptically. Rich dark fruit, black cherry, and blackberry flavours are all present in the aroma, which is also enhanced by peppery and mineral undertones. The tannins are still rather grittier as the tasting begins, indicating that the wine will be well supported for at least the next ten years. A fruitful closure with outstanding persistence.

A wine that goes so well with the local food, especially the second courses. Try it with stuffed duck honey. It should be served in a tall, broad glass that permits scent diffusion and oxygenation at room temperature, around 18 ºC.
