93 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2023 Le Volte Dell'Ornellaia is a saturated red/ruby color and is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, raised in used barrels for around 10 months. Always a wine leaning into the fruity and approachable side of things, the nose is fruity and fresh with aromas of candied flowers, crushed raspberries, red apples, and fresh stony earth. Medium to full-bodied, it’s very elegant with a joyful ease. It’s a great snapshot into these wines, which are mighty tasty now and have a lot of character. Drink: 2025-2035. (Mar 2025)"
92 points Falstaff Guide: "Dense ruby red with purple reflections. Intense nose of Amarena cherries with ripe plums, some cinnamon and cranberries. Fresh on the palate, medium-bodied, with fine tannins and good flow, balanced, medium finish. (Sep 2025)"
91 points James Button (Decanter): "Matured partly in used Ornellaia barriques and partly in concrete, the 2023 Le Volte has seductive aromas of dark cherry compote and raspberry coulis with a waft of balsamic herbs. In the mouth there's good concentration of fruit and a silky flow, with crunchy dark berries and a vibrant streak of that raspberry coulis. It's all brought together by fresh acidity and a breezy, if slightly astringent, finish. Drinking Window: 2025-2029. (Feb 2025)"
90 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$41 list] Cherry, black currant, wild herb, earth and smoke notes grace this succulent red. Balanced, with a firm grip of tannins on the smoky finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030. (10/31/25)"
90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2023 Le Volte dell’Ornellaia is a total delight. Fresh, aromatic and vibrant, Ornellaia’s Sangiovese-based blend delivers the goods in an affordable package. A burst of bright, red-toned fruit opens first, followed by scents of tobacco, cedar and dried herbs. This classy, polished red is very nicely done. There’s a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend these days, and it works quite well. Drink: 2025-2030. (Feb 2025)"
90 points James Suckling: "A fruit-forward wine with aromas of ripe, jammy plums balanced by floral notes. Juicy and light-bodied, it shows an easy-drinking style with light tannins, crisp acidity and good balance. Drink now. (7/23/25)"
