2014 Tenuta dell Ornellaia Le Volte Toscana IGT

70% MERLOT 15% SANGIOVESE 15% CABERNET SAUVIGNON Vintage 2014 will go down in history Ornellaia wine house as one of the most unusual. When the warm and rainy winter gave way to a soft, dry spring, we have the most favorable conditions for normal vegetative growth and the timely appearance of the flowers. In July, the weather was good, but August was cold and rainy that jeopardize the ripening grapes. In addition, such conditions can suffer from vine diseases. Timely cleaning and processing bark harvest during the month of August has helped to keep the vine healthy. Because of this crop could ripen in September and October. During these two months, the weather was dry and sunny - ideal for ripening, especially for Merlot. This is one of the most recent harvest: picking began on September 6 from young vines of merlot and ended October 22 Cabernet Sauvignon.
