This bright red wine opens the door to the world of Ornellaia and simply shares the<br />passion for quality that is experienced every day on our estate and with every sip.<br />TASTING NOTES<br />51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot Alc. : 13 % vol.<br />Displaying a deep purple red, Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2022 shows ripe frity aromas such as cherries and blackberries, in addition to black pepperiness. The palate is<br />generous with considerable body at first, followed by smooth and enduring tannins. Upbeat freshness and pleasurable fruity aromas make up the finish.<br /><br />THE 2022 G ROWING SEASON<br />The 2022 vintage in Bolgheri was distinguished by a typical winter with temperatures nearing the seasonal average, followed by a start of spring that was equally cool and<br />dry. These conditions caused the vines to bud later than usual. From May onwards, a lengthy dry spell - lasting for about 75 days - persisted in the area, seriously<br />challenging plant growth. The vines suffered from notable water stress during the growth, flowering and veraison periods, which resulted in a low-yield vintage. Fortunately,<br />after these complications, the rainfall caused by classic summer storms freed up the energies, reactivating the physiology of the vines that could resume the ripening of the<br />grapes. The rainfall cleared up during a month of September that proved perfect for the accumulation of sugar, aromas and tannins, mostly due to the cool night-time<br />temperatures. The harvest took place in superb conditions that enabled us to choose the perfect date for each vineyard and varietal. The red grape harvest started with<br />Merlot on 25 August before continuing through September ith Cabernet Sauvignon and ending on 10 October.<br /><br />VINIFICATION AND AGEING<br />The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their characteristics. The alcoholic<br />fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months,<br />partly in barriques used previously for Ornellaia and partly in concrete tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between<br />tannic structure and the expression of fresh fruit.<br />

The Sangiovese<br />Vin del Fattore is a modern take on the Governo technique used in Tuscany by drying part of the grapes in crates at a controlled temperature.<br /><br />Grapes: Sangiovese 95%, Ciliegiolo 5%.<br />Training system: spurred cordon<br />Planting density: 4000 vines/hectare<br />Soil type: sandy loam<br />Altitude: between 60 and 90 metres a.s.l.<br />Age of vineyards: 5-10 years<br />Harvest time: mid-September for Ciliegiolo, early October for Sangiovese<br />Method of fermentation: The Sangiovese grapes are harvested by hand into small perforated crates and dried in cold rooms until they lose 15% of their weight.

Fermentation proceeds<br />until the sugars are almost completely depleted; malolactic fermentation starts naturally at the end of primary fermentation.<br />Maturation: in steel for three months on the fine lees.<br />Bottling: in the month of May following the harvest.<br />Ageing potential: to be drunk young, within 2-4 years after harvesting.<br />Description: Sangiovese Toscano IGT Vin del Fattore is an elegant ruby red wine, with pleasant notes of red fruits (plums, blackberries and cherries) and hints of spices.<br />Medium structured and dry, round on the palate with an elegant fruity finish and round tannins.<br />Food pairing: Perfect with cured meat starters, first courses with meat sauces and main courses.<br />Serving temperature: 16°C<br />Ideal glass: a large Bordeaux-type goblet.<br />
