Goedhuis, February 2024
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, Le Volte is the fantastic value Italian buy from the team behind Ornellaia. The 2022 shows soft, fruity flavours of ripe red cherry, plum, blackberry and blackcurrant infused with pepper and fresh herbs such as sage and thyme. The palate is nicely rounded, with supple, melting tannins providing support to the bright, spiced, fruit. It delivers the trademark Ornellaia style in a playful, earlier drinking format and can be enjoyed from the get-go, although we would happily cellar for three to five years.
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The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the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.
