The 2019 Ornellaia Le Volte dell’Ornellaia Toscana IGT "Museum Release" is the vibrant and approachable expression of the Ornellaia estate, crafted on the Tuscan coast from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. As a special release, it offers added collectability while maintaining the wine’s signature balance of generosity and structure. The nose is bright and expressive, showing red berries, cherry and plum, layered with floral notes of rose petals alongside hints of spice, herbs and a subtle savoury edge.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and approachable tannins. Juicy red fruit, Mediterranean herbs and gentle spice are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a lively, easy-drinking and harmonious finish. The style is fresh, fruit-forward and versatile, offering a softer, more accessible introduction to the Ornellaia portfolio while still reflecting the estate’s quality and precision.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect everyday Super Tuscan-style wine with added appeal as a Museum Release. Ideal for customers who want an easy, elegant red with the Ornellaia name. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Great with pasta, pizza, grilled meats or casual Italian dining.
