Le Volte 2021 IGT Toscana...

Le Volte 2021 IGT Toscana...

Immediately pleasant, versatile and carefree, Le Volte dell'Ornellaia tells a story of conviviality. Through this brilliant red, one begins to enter the world of Ornellaia and to<br />share with simplicity that passion for quality that one breathes here every day and that can be found in every sip.<br /><br />WINEMAKER'S NOTES<br />Alc. 14% vol.<br /><br />'With its usual ruby red colour with purple highlights, Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is characterised on the nose by lively notes of red fruits accompanied by a delicate spiciness.<br />On tasting, the wine is well-balanced in all its components, combining a smooth and supple tannic texture with an acidic freshness that lends crispness and pleasantness<br />to the wine.' - Olga Fusari - Winemaker - December 2022<br /><br />THE CLIMATE OF 2021<br />The 2021 vintage began with a rainy and mild winter that allowed the soil's water reserves to be replenished. After a dry March, budding took place in the first two weeks of<br />April. The gradual rise in temperatures, with normal rainfall, allowed the shoots to grow steadily, leading to flowering in excellent conditions at the end of May. From June<br />onwards, fully summery weather set in, with slightly higher than average temperatures and almost no rainfall, leading to veraison in the last week of July. The drought lasted<br />throughout August and September, but the spring rains and deep Bolgheri soils allowed the vines to avoid too much water stress, creating the conditions for small, highly<br />concentrated grapes with high quality potential. September was warm and sunny with no rain, allowing an 'à la carte' harvest to express the full quality potential of each<br />individual vineyard. The harvesting of the reds took place substantially during the month of September, with the Merlot in the first two weeks and the other vines on the estate<br />from 13 September, concluding on 1 October.<br /><br />VINIFICATION AND FINING<br />Vinification was carried out separately in small steel tanks, respecting the different varietal characteristics during the fermentation phases. Alcoholic fermentation was<br />followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The ageing phase lasted 10 months, part in barriques, previously used for Ornellaia, the other part in cement tanks,<br />to achieve a perfect balance between tannic structure and fruit expression. - Axel Heinz - Estate Manager<br />

Ornellaia 2020 Bolgheri DOC...

ORNELLAIA 2020 'LA P ROPORZIONE'<br />- BOLGHERI DOC SUPERIORE RED<br />Ornellaia was born from the encounter between nature and thought. Ancient and complex soils dialogue through the wisdom of man with a delicate microclimate that finds<br />its echo and mirror in the Mediterranean Sea. Long ageing accompanies the estate's great wine to its fullest expression, revealing over time its finesse, breadth and<br />generosity.<br /><br />E NOLOGIST'S TASTING NOTES<br />50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot Alc. 14.5% vol. 'With its usual intense ruby red colour, Ornellaia 2020 is characterised on the<br />nose by aromas of ripe red fruit and delicate notes of vanilla and sweet tobacco. On the palate the wine is soft and velvety, with a pleasant, enveloping mouthfeel that invites<br />a second sip. The tannic texture is dense and at the same time elegant and the finish is savoury and beautifully persistent.' - Olga Fusari - Winemaker - July 2022<br /><br />THE CLIMATE OF 2020<br />After a mild and rainy winter, March saw a temporary drop in temperatures with a few nights below 0°C right at the start of budding in the last week of the month. The newly<br />budded shoots were, however, still protected by the cotton bud tissue, which prevented frost damage. The rest of spring saw generally warm weather with normal rainfall,<br />ensuring regular vegetative development until flowering, which took place between 20 and 25 May. In June, a passage of heavy rainfall towards the middle of the month was<br />followed by a very long dry period with a substantial absence of rain and torrid temperatures until the end of August. The veraison took place evenly and quickly between 20<br />and 25 July, starting the ripening of the grapes under a blazing sun. Rains arrived at the end of August, which led to a considerable drop in temperatures, with night-time<br />lows as low as 13°C, ideal conditions for completing the ripening of the Merlots. They were harvested early and quickly, in just two weeks, in order to preserve as much<br />freshness and fruitiness as possible, just in time to avoid a sudden week-long heat wave where the thermometer marked up to 37°C, causing sugar levels to soar for all the<br />varieties still to be harvested, leading us to begin harvesting Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from the young vineyards as early as 17 September. Towards the end<br />of September, a passage of rain finally brought the weather conditions back to normal, the water absorbed by the grapes lowered the alcohol levels back to normal values,<br />allowing us to conclude the harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot on 3 October.<br /><br />VINIFICATION AND FINING<br />Harvesting was carried out by hand in 15 kg crates and the grapes were sorted on a double sorting table before and after destemming and then subjected to a soft crushing.<br />In 2016, optical sorting was introduced in addition to manual selection to further increase the quality of the selection. Each variety and each plot was vinified separately.<br />Alcoholic fermentation took place partly in stainless steel vats and partly in concrete vats at temperatures between 26 and 30°C for a week, followed by a maceration period<br />of around 15 days, with a total stay in the vats of around three weeks. Malolactic fermentation took place mainly in oak barrels (70% new and 30% second passage). The<br />wine remained in barriques in the<br />Ornellaia cellar at a controlled temperature for a period of about 18 months. After the first 12 months, it was blended, then reintroduced into the barriques, where it spent a<br />further 6 months. The wine remained in the bottle for 12 months before release. - Axel Heinz - Estate Manager<br />
