90 / 100"The 2023 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is a total delight. Fresh, aromatic and vibrant, Ornellaia's Sangiovese-based blend delivers the goods in an affordable package. A burst of bright, red-toned fruit opens first, followed by scents of tobacco, cedar and dried herbs. This classy, polished red is very nicely done. There's a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend these days, and it works quite well. - Antonio Galloni (Published February 2025)"
