Tenute dell'Ornellaia Le Volte dell'Ornellaia Toscana 2019: A Vibrant and Expressive Tuscan Red

Tenute dell'Ornellaia Le Volte dell'Ornellaia Toscana 2019 is an elegant and approachable red wine from Tuscany, created as an accessible expression of the Ornellaia estate's winemaking philosophy. The wine combines the generosity of the Mediterranean with structure and complexity, bringing together Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon to create a balanced and versatile Tuscan red.

The 2019 vintage displays an intense ruby-red colour with an expressive bouquet of vibrant red berries and delicate rose petals. On the palate, it is generous, broad and enveloping, supported by a dense tannic structure and lively acidity that provide freshness and balance. The combination of ripe fruit, polished structure and vibrant acidity gives the wine an immediately appealing character and a pleasantly persistent finish.

The 2019 growing season experienced contrasting conditions, including a cool and rainy spring followed by a warm, dry summer. A period of cooler temperatures toward the end of September helped preserve aromatic freshness and finesse before the harvest was completed in early October. The individual grape varieties were fermented separately in small steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then aged for 10 months, partly in previously used Ornellaia barriques and partly in concrete tanks, balancing tannic structure with fresh fruit expression.

Serve at around 16 to 18°C to allow its red fruit, floral aromas and savoury character to fully express themselves. Its approachable structure makes it enjoyable without extensive decanting, although a short period in the glass can help reveal additional layers of fruit and spice.

For food pairings, enjoy Le Volte dell'Ornellaia 2019 with grilled beef, roasted lamb, pork, burgers and Italian-style pasta dishes. Its vibrant acidity and rounded tannins also complement pizza, tomato-based sauces, grilled vegetables, mushrooms and medium-aged cheeses.

Whether you are enjoying a relaxed dinner in Dubai Marina, hosting friends in Palm Jumeirah, or serving an Italian-inspired meal on Yas Island or Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi, Tenute dell'Ornellaia Le Volte dell'Ornellaia Toscana 2019 brings the warmth, freshness and character of Tuscany to the table.
