Le Volte dell’Ornellaia 2017 Magnum (1.5L)

This month we bring you an entry level Super-Tuscan magnum with perfect provenance and just the right amount of bottle age. ‘Le Volte’ is always known for its silky, easy to drink style and 2017 did not miss. You have concentrated fruit and integrated tannins.

92 points Wine Advocate – Lots of big, dark fruit and a lack of water in the grapes define the unique personality of the 2017 Le Volte dell’Ornellaia. This is a highly extracted and succulent expression that delivers abundant fruit sweetness. The key to this vintage was waiting for proper ripeness, says estate manager and winemaker Axel Heinz. “The grapes continued to get smaller throughout the summer,” he says. That lack of water resulted in very concentrated fruit, giving this entry-level wine a rich and modern feel as a result.
