Very aromatic, with raspberry, orange peel and floral aromas. Nice transparency. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crisp, crunchy finish. Drinkable now, but better from 2026.
The aromatics are sweet and fragrant, with crushed damson plum, grilled sandalwood, leather, gourmet edged, easy to sink into, and extremely well made. Higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon than in previous vintages of Volte, aged in barrels that were first used for Ornellaia. Director Axel Heinz left half way through this vintage, winemaker Olga Fusari skilfully brings it home. 119ha estate.
So fragrant on the nose, the Petit Verdot really seems to stand out, ripe cherries and strawberries with some tobacco and cedar notes too. Sweet at first then cool and fresh, crunchy but lean and a little bit green. Not layered or complex, it has nice purity but the flavours aren't fully harmonious, a mixture of herbal accents, sweet fruit, minerality and oak that isn't so resolved on the finish.
