A broad and elegant Tuscan wine

The property

With a reputation that has left the Italian Mediterranean coast to make a place on the international scene, Tenuta dell'Ornellaia establishes itself as one of the greatest names in Italy. Founded in 1981, this jewel in the heart of Tuscany is now in the hands of the Frescobaldi family who has given it its nobility. In just a few decades, the exceptional know-how of the house, supported by consulting winemaker Michel Rolland and winemaker Axel Heinz, has established the reputation of the estate around the world while reinterpreting the finesse of Italian wines in the light of a great terroir.

The vineyard

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia watches over a vineyard that, due to its diversity of exposures, benefits from both a refreshing sea breeze and natural protection against cold winds in winter. Located not far from the hills of Bolgheri, this terroir owes its uniqueness to its mosaic of clay-sandy soils of marine, alluvial and volcanic origin. It is thus within preserved landscapes that the grape varieties entering the blend of these great Bolgheri Superiore wines develop a pure and refined expression.

The vintage

The year 2023 in Tuscany was characterized by a mild winter with high temperatures and average rainfall, followed by a very rainy spring. The summer was hot but with moderate temperatures, while late August rains and cool nights in September favored a progressive and regular maturation of the grapes. These conditions allowed for high concentration, aromatic complexity and preserved acidity, creating a perfect balance between power and elegance.

Vinification and aging

Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2023 is made from a parcel-by-parcel vinification in small stainless steel tanks, each grape variety fermenting separately in order to preserve its typicity. The malolactic fermentation also takes place in stainless steel tanks, before a 10-month aging, divided between second-use barrels and concrete tanks, for a subtle balance between structure and freshness.

Grape varieties

55% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 5% petit verdot.
