THE TIMES OF ORNELLAIA 2021
Le Volte is a red wine from Bolgheri, although classified as IGT, and expresses the Mediterranean, generous and attractive character typical of wines from the Tuscan coast. It is a blend based on Merlot and fully reflects the Ornellaia style based on richness and roundness. Compared to the other wines of the estate, Le Volte dell'Ornellaia aims to be a wine with an immediate approach and a fragrant fruity taste, to be drunk when young; to do it in the cellar we opted for a double refinement partly in concrete and partly in wood.

The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature. The wine also undergoes malolactic fermentation in steel. Subsequently, a part of the wine matures for 10 months in barrique and a part matures in concrete tanks.
