Tenuta dell’Ornellaia's third wine, the 2007 Le Volte is a blend of 51% Sangiovese, 34% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. A deep purple colour provides a lighter than expected bouquet of strawberry, raspberry and earthy notes. Starting off tight, this rich red opens up after a few hours in a decanter with hints of jam, red fruit and oak. Decent tannins and a long finish.
Overall, I was hoping for more from this wine, and if faced with a choice, would prefer Tenuta San Guido's third wine, Le Difese, which provides a more complex and full-bodied 2007.
Score: 89
