Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Ornellaia Toscana IGT Le Volte dell’Ornellaia 2021 is a stylish and approachable Italian red wine from Toscana IGT, produced by the world-renowned Ornellaia estate. Designed as the first step into the Ornellaia family, Le Volte combines Mediterranean generosity with structure, freshness, and everyday drinking appeal. Ornellaia describes the wine as instantly enjoyable, versatile, and playful.

The 2021 vintage is made from a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon, bringing together the ripe fruit and softness of international varieties with the freshness and acidity of Sangiovese. The wine shows a ruby red colour with purple tinges and opens with lively red fruit aromas, dark cherry, cassis, spice, red rose, blackcurrant, blackberry, lavender, and light oak notes.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied, smooth, bright, and well-balanced, with refreshing acidity, smooth tannins, generous fruit, and a polished finish. Wine.com lists critic notes of 92 Wine Spectator and 91 Wine Advocate, if you want to include ratings in your listing after confirmation.

This is a great choice for customers looking for a premium Italian red that is easier to enjoy than a powerful cellar wine, while still carrying the prestige of Ornellaia. Serve it with grilled steak, roast lamb, pasta Bolognese, tomato-based pasta, pizza, BBQ meats, mushroom risotto, roast pork, charcuterie, and aged cheese.
