Le Volte dell'Ornellaia combines a Mediterranean expression of generosity with structure and complexity, reflecting Ornellaia's philosophy. Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is a fine wine for those who love wine spontaneously, without the need for ceremonies.
Packaging: 1 bottle of 0,75 lt
Grapes: 50% Merlot, 30% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2012 was a dry year, as was 2011. The lack of water was felt already during the winter, cold but little rainy. At the time of the sprouting, which took place in the norm, the rainfall blamed a deficit of about 100 mm compared to the multiannual average. A sunny and mild spring led to excellent vegetative development leading to rapid and homogeneous flowering. July and August were warm and almost rain-free, causing problems to block maturation due to lack of water to fear. In spite of this, the veraison took place in perfect condition thus completing it regularly and satisfactorily. Some rains between late August and early September, then gave a further acceleration to maturation that was completed evenly with excellent aromatic and polyphenolic parameters. The harvest took place between 2 September and 4 October before the abundant autumn rains.
Vinification and Aging: The vinification was made separately in small steel tanks respecting the different varietal characteristics during the fermentation phases. Alcoholic fermentation followed malolactic fermentation, always in steel tanks. The aging phase lasted 10 months in barriques of 2-4 years, previously used for the aging of Ornellaia wine. The period spent in small barrels allows the wine to improve its structure by softening the vibrancy of tannins.

The company's production philosophy is focuses on one goal: quality. Every choice is extremely important and implies an absolute attention to detail. At no stage of the production process are shortcuts allowed and this is how the best grapes are obtained according to the climatic characteristics of each vintage. Only after a year of aging in cask are the base wines assembled in compliance with the two main criteria: the expression of elegance and vintage style. The cellar is the continuation of the vineyard. Once again, the palate is the main tool; daily tasting makes it possible to adequately define the extraction and maceration time for each of the 70-80 base wines. These mature separately in small French oak barrels, before being selected and blended to achieve a subtle balance between the specific character of the vintage and the sensual Ornellaia's elegance.
Estimated between Monday 12 May and Tuesday 13 May.
