Ornellaia's Le Volte 2024: 92 Points, $19.99

2024 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia "Le Volte" Toscana

From the buyer

K&L Italian Buyer · September 7, 2026

I have a soft spot for Le Volte. It was one of the wines I loved when I first started getting into wine, and I am not going to pretend otherwise now that I spend considerably more time thinking about soil, acidity, and the precise character of a tannin. Becoming serious about wine should not require disowning the bottles that helped get you there.
That affection is not a free pass, though. Nostalgia is a perfectly good reason to revisit a wine. It is not a reason to overrate it.
The 2024 puts fresh red fruit at the center of the conversation. Cherry and wild strawberry lead the aromatics, with a cooling menthol note that gives the nose lift and definition. The emphasis is on brightness here.
The fruit is juicy, the overall impression balanced, and the wine maintains that useful distinction between being easy to drink and having nothing to say. There is substance here.
The winemaking follows that same logic. The varieties are fermented separately in small stainless-steel tanks, with malolactic fermentation also taking place in steel. Ten months of aging follow, partly in barrels previously used for Ornellaia and partly in tank, with the stated aim of balancing tannic structure and fruit expression. This is not a recipe built entirely around the barrel.
At this price this is a must buy, a supe Tuscan for everyone and every occasion, you won’t be disappointed here.

Critic reviews

92 pts · Wine Spectator · April 2026 A fruity style, boasting black currant, blackberry, black cherry, graphite and toasty oak flavors. Fluid and balanced, this leaves a detailed, refreshing finish, with an aftertaste of fruit and mineral notes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2033. 18,000 cases imported. (BS)

91 pts · Jeb Dunnuck · May 2026 The 2024 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia, composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Petit Verdot, pours a youthful purple/red hue and is bright and expressive, with notes of red berries, plum, violet, fresh herbs, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, rounded, and approachable, with a light, floating texture, ripe tannins, and refreshing acidity, this is a charming and accessible vintage to enjoy over the near to medium term. Drink 2026-2031. (AF)

91 pts · Vinous · July 2026 The 2024 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia is a super-classy, polished wine. Floral, aromatic and light on its feet, the 2024 is a total delight. Crushed flowers, mint, sweet red cherry fruit, cedar and rose petal all grace this delicate, understated Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend.

90 pts · Decanter · February 2026 Creamy raspberries and sweet cherries on the nose. Pure, fine, simple and easy going., Great fragrance all the way through, this has florality and a nice delicate, gentle expression. Smooth, cool and fresh. All in balance. (GH)

90 pts · James Suckling · May 2026 A bright, fruity wine with aromas of raspberries, red cherries, violets and subtle spices. Light- to medium-bodied with velvety tannins, grainy depth and moderate acidity. Drink now. (JS)
