Fresh red fruit like cherries and wild strawberries emerge on<br />the nose, accompanied by elegant mentholated notes that provide aromatic depth and freshness. Exquisite to taste, the wine<br />has a bold structure, while remaining elegant and delicate. Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is harmonious and balanced, complex<br />and juicy, a joy to drink.<br /><br />THE 2024 GROWING SEASON<br />2024 is a precocious and promising vintage. The growing season began quite early, aided by the mild and rainy<br />conditions in the first part of the year, which ensured an excellent water supply for the vineyards. Even in the<br />following months, abundant rainfall continued to support plant development, although it made vineyard<br />management particularly demanding and required great care. Starting at the end of June, the arrival of warm, sunny<br />days created ideal conditions for a quality harvest. The vines gradually slowed their growth, showing reduced vigour<br />at just the right time: during véraison at the end of July, a crucial phase for concentration and aromatic development.<br />This hot and dry period was interrupted in mid-August by some localized storms, which brought variable rainfall<br />across different vineyards, allowing the grapes to complete their ripening in optimal conditions. From early<br />September onwards, an alternation of sunny, cool and occasionally rainy days accompanied the harvest through to<br />its conclusion, naturally balancing the concentration of the berries without compromising their health. In summary,<br />2024 proved to be a balanced and dynamic vintage, with nice freshness and poised to produce elegant and<br />aromatically intense wines.<br /><br />VINIFICATION AND AGEING<br />The different varietals were fermented separately in small steel tanks to maintain their characteristics. The alcoholic<br />fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation, again in steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 10 months,<br />partly in barriques used previously for Ornellaia and partly in tanks, to obtain the perfect balance between tannic<br />structure and the expression of fresh fruit.<br /><br />
