Tenuta dell Ornellaia 'Le Volte' 2020
Toscana IGT
From the world famous Ornellaia estate, founder of the Super Tuscan movement, comes this luscious, 93-point red. Blending finest Sangiovese, with Cabernet and Merlot, all from the coastal Bolgheri region, this is dense, rich and impeccably balanced.

A beacon of the Super Tuscan movement, the Ornellaia estate on the Tuscan coast enjoys beautiful views and a unique microclimate that ensures grapes ripen slowly for maximum flavour. The gentle sea breezes temper the summer heat, while surrounding hills give protection from the cold winter winds. The rich volcanic and marine soils provide perfect conditions for grape growing but the winery’s winemaker Axel Heinz and consultant Michel Rolland leave nothing to chance. This is like a Bordeaux second wine, using only part estate-grown Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet – a rule breaking blend known as a Super Tuscan – but made with the same passion and brilliance as the ‘Grand Vin’. Enjoy with classic Italian meaty pasta dishes or roast meats.
