WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Alc. 14% vol.
'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.
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
to the wine.' - Olga Fusari - Winemaker - December 2022
THE CLIMATE OF 2021
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
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
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
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
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
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
from 13 September, concluding on 1 October.
VINIFICATION AND FINING
Vinification was carried out separately in small steel tanks, respecting the different varietal characteristics during the fermentation phases. Alcoholic fermentation was
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,
to achieve a perfect balance between tannic structure and fruit expression. - Axel Heinz - Estate Manager
