Goedhuis, March 2023
Always one of the top value Italian buys of the vintage, Le Volte is a Tuscan superstar in its own right and offers a little bit of everything, the softness of Merlot, the structure and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the beauty and exuberance of Tuscany’s Sangiovese. The 2021 offers mouth-watering red cherry, plum and blackberry over layers of lavender, Mediterranean herbs, cedar and fresh tobacco leaf. Bright and energetic on the palate, the tannins are soft and well-integrated, making this an immensely pleasurable wine. Instantly enjoyable, but backed up with a supple, nimble structure and crisp vibrant fruit that will allow it to age comfortably for up to five years.

Antonio Galloni, August 2023, Score: 89
The 2021 Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is a potent, brooding wine. Black cherry, gravel, dried herbs, chocolate, leather and tobacco are all amplified in this potent Maremma red. The 2021 is one of the richest Le Voltes I can remember tasting. Drink 2021-2029

Wine Advocate, May 2023, Score: 91
The Ornellaia 2021 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia offers bright and youthful fruit with dark cherry, cassis, spice and red rose. This wine is composed of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. You feel the acidity of the Italian grape and the rich fruit from the two French varietals. The wine is tonic and tight with mid-weight intensity. This is the entry-level red from one of Italy's most iconic estates. Drink 2023-2026

A firm and silky wine with bark, berry, chocolate and light coffee aromas and flavors. Medium body. Creamy textured finish. Merlot with cabernet sauvignon and some montepulciano. Drinkable and fresh. Drink now.
Region
Bolgheri
The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the entrance to the village. Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international French varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and reknown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.
