The 2014 Le Volte (70% Merlot, 15% Sangiovese and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon) shows some of the weakness of the vintage - whereas the top shelf wines from Ornellaia in this difficult year are absolutely impressive. Le Volte seems to have suffered from less generous fruit selection. The bouquet shows moderate intensity with dried cherry, some distant spice and toasted almond. This is an easy drinking red to pair with your favorite dish at your local trattoria. Drink it up within the next two years. Some 450,000 bottles are produced.

A fluid, cherry-laced red, with bright acidity leading to a moderately long conclusion. Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now. 9,000 cases imported.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
From its position on the hillside close to Bolgheri, the Ornellaia Estate lies hidden amongst the foothills of the Mediterranean coast. The cool sea breezes caress the vineyards and its surrounding olive groves throughout the summer months, while instead, during the winter, the hills provide protection from the cold northern winds. Ornellaia believes that their wines should be produced to illustrate the truest expression of their original terroir. The diversity of the estate’s soils – marine, alluvial and volcanic – coupled with the maritime climate, create an environment in which red and white varietals flourish. The myriad of vineyard plots fit into this untouched landscape like a mosaic, creating a unique expression of beauty, complexity and elegance. However, experience, skill and determination of the Ornellaia team also plays a major role in enhancing the quality and reputation of Ornellaia. For it is the estate itself that provides a continual source of inspiration, suggesting exclusive and exciting ways to capture the property’s natural generosity.
