Estate

Ornellaia is a legendary estate hidden in the foothills of Bolgheri, facing the Mediterranean coast. The winery was founded in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori, and its first vineyards planted the following year. Today the estate is owned by Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi, one of Italy’s most revered wine families. Ornellaia produces world class wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, and prides itself on its obsession with excellence – at all levels. No shortcuts in the production process are allowed or tolerated, each grape is subject to a double selection process, and each vineyard is vinified separately in individual tanks, allowing each individual base wine to contribute its own character to the final blend.

Vinification

The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their varietal characteristics intact. The alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months, partly in barrique used for Ornellaia and partly in cement tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between tannic structure and an expression of fresh fruit.

Wine

Le Volte dell'Ornellaia combines Mediterranean expression of opulence and generosity with structure and complexity. The approachable style of Le Volte dell'Ornellaia, a blend of Merlot (67%), Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) and Sangiovese (13%), reflects the philosophy and savoirfaire of Ornellaia.
