The 2020 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. It reflects a Mediterranean style focused on freshness, generosity and everyday drinkability, offering an accessible introduction to one of Italy’s most prestigious producers. The nose is bright and expressive, showing redcurrant, cherry and wild strawberry, layered with notes of tobacco, cedar, spice and Mediterranean herbs.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and rounded tannins. Juicy red fruit, subtle savoury notes and gentle spice are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a lively, polished and easy-drinking finish. The style is fresh, fruit-forward and versatile, combining softness with structure - designed for immediate enjoyment while still reflecting the quality and precision of Ornellaia.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an ideal everyday Super Tuscan-style wine with added appeal as a Museum Release. Perfect for customers who want a smooth, approachable red with the Ornellaia name. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Great with pasta, pizza, grilled meats or casual Italian dining.
