92-Points by James Suckling, Wine Spectator & Wine Enthusiast. 

The Ornellaia 2021 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia offers bright and youthful fruit with dark cherry, cassis, spice and red rose. This wine is composed of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. You feel the acidity of the Italian grape and the rich fruit from the two French varietals. The wine is tonic and tight with mid-weight intensity. Offers fine length.

 

  • Ornellaia: The very name sends critics and collectors into rhapsodies about the estate’s unassailable quality. It’s often referred to as “Italy’s First Growth,” and critic Antonio Galloni has said their wines “have never failed to literally send shivers down my spine.”

Just four miles from the Mediterranean, Ornellaia’s original Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted by the legendary enologist André Tchelistcheff, who called the property “El Dorado.” Today, they’re tended by Olga Fusari, the protégé of Axel Heinz, who Galloni called “one of the world’s most in-demand winemakers.” 

 In 2002, Marchesi de' Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi became owners of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, which is now owned exclusively by Marchesi de' Frescobaldi.
