Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2020 | Magnum

A refined second wine of Ornellaia, blending Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The bouquet is elegant and expressive, with blackberry, plum and red cherry interwoven with cedar, tobacco and spice. The palate is supple yet structured, combining ripe fruit with polished tannins and fresh acidity leading to a long, harmonious finish. Subtle oak ageing adds depth and complexity, giving the wine both approachability and potential to age gracefully.

Created in 1997, Le Serre Nuove reflects the philosophy and precision of Ornellaia while offering a more accessible style in its youth. Crafted from the estate’s younger vines, it embodies the balance of Mediterranean warmth and Bordeaux-inspired elegance that defines Bolgheri.

"A recognisable Bordeaux blend with its structure, tannins and velvet texture. Softly brushed vanilla bean an cocoa shavings alongside the raspberry fruits. This is excellent quality, approachable with a good few hours in a carafe now, or give it another few years to further soften the tannins. Le Serre Nuove comes from younger vines or those on lighter, sandier soils, translating into a fruit-focused, unfussy wine that was first released in this vintage through the Place in March 2021, making this my second tasting.
