  Critic tasting note: (2000 vintage) "Le Volte is produced from the young cabernet sauvignon and merlot vines of the Ornellaia estate blended with Sangiovese coming from selected growers in the coastal zone. Look for spicy, peppery, black cherry jam, slightly gamey, barnyard notes with some cassis. Round and textured with some light, dry tannins. Very earthy, peppery, spicy, gamey flavours with licorice and cherry in the finish. Well made for current drinking or hold a year. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe)." - Gismondi on Wine

Winemaking: The grapes were harvested in the following periods during the 2000 vintage: Merlot: during the first half of September Cabernet Sauvignon: from mid September to end September Sangiovese: during the third week of September. Le Volte is the result of a selection of Tuscany’s best mediterranean terroirs and unites the typical Tuscan variety of Sangiovese together with two Bordeaux varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Mediterranean expression of the Sangiovese gives the wine opulence and generosity while the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown in the region lend structure and complexity. Le Volte is true reflection of the Ornellaia philosophy and aims to achieve the greatest expression of the ‘terroir’ by producing a wine which unites personality with charm and elegance.

Read more
Ageing: The wine remains in barriques for a period of approximately 9 months followed by a further period in the bottle before release.
Producer Tasting Notes: The generous climactic conditions of the 2000 vintage enabled the production of a magnificent Sangiovese on the Tuscan coast, giving to the Le Volte 2000 a beautiful Mediterranean expression. The wine unites the softness, richness, and spiciness of the Sangiovese with the concentration and structure of the Cabernet and Merlot. The beginning of the palate presents a pleasant fruit and continues with a sophisticated and elegant structure. This wine of pronounced character expresses its potential today and may evolve over several years.
