Tenuta dell'Ornellaia 2019 Le Volte dell'Ornellaia Toscana IGT 13.5% $22
Easy-going and impressively accessible already, this juicy, berried wine is surprisingly gluggable. Svelte tannins meet lightly piquant acidity to give this blend a real pop of freshness. Moreover, there is no new oak here as the wine was aged exclusively in used Ornellaia barriques and concrete tanks. This is pleasantly savory with scores of underbrush and black cherries trailed by drying thyme and rosemary. The medium finish is bright with red currants. This is super fun though not very complex.
