Le Volte dell’Ornellaia 2024 presents a lively and brilliant purple color. On the nose, fresh red fruits emerge,
such as cherry and wild strawberry, accompanied by elegant menthol notes that lend freshness and aromatic depth.
On the palate, the attack is suave, supported by a firm yet delicate and elegant structure. The drink is
harmonious and balanced: the wine combines complexity and juiciness, making it pleasantly drinkable without losing structure and
character.
THE 2024 CLIMATE
2024 looks like an early and promising vintage. The growing season began relatively early, favored
by mild, rainy conditions in the first part of the year, which ensured an excellent supply of water to the vineyards.
Even in the following months, abundant rainfall continued to support the growth of the plants, making
vineyard management particularly challenging and requiring great attention to care.
Starting at the end of June, the arrival of warm, sunny days created the ideal conditions for a high-quality
harvest. The vines gradually slowed their growth, showing little vigor at the perfect
time: during veraison, at the end of July, a crucial phase for concentration and aroma.
This warm, dry period was interrupted in mid-August by some localized thunderstorms, which brought
variable rainfall to the various vineyards, allowing the grapes to complete ripening in the best conditions. From
the beginning of September, alternating sunny and cool days, with occasional rain, accompanied the
harvest until its conclusion, naturally rebalancing the concentration of the berries without compromising
their health.
In summary, 2024 confirms itself as a balanced and dynamic vintage, with a lovely freshness and ready to produce elegant
and aromatically intense wines.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Vinification was carried out separately in small steel tanks, respecting the different varietal
characteristics during the fermentation phases. Alcoholic fermentation was followed by malolactic fermentation,
also in steel tanks. The aging phase lasted 10 months, partly in barriques, previously used for
Ornellaia, and partly in tanks, to achieve a perfect balance between tannic structure and fruit expression.
