Le Serre Nuove · Bolgheri DOC 2023

  Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia from the prestigious Tenuta dell'Ornellaia winery in Tuscany is a refined cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—a composition that combines the style of international grape varieties with the unique soils and sunshine of the Bolgheri region. Its origin from younger parcels of the estate gives it a lively energy, and aging for around 15 months in barriques ensures that fruit and finesse go hand in hand.

In the glass, Le Serre Nuove displays a deep ruby red color with violet reflections—a sign of its concentration and elegance. The bouquet opens with aromas of ripe dark berries, blackcurrant, and cherry, accompanied by spicy notes such as pink pepper, licorice, and subtle cedarwood aromas that evoke the Mediterranean environment. On the palate, this rich fruit combines with a smooth texture, well-integrated tannins, and a fine minerality - the finish is long, balanced, and stylish. A wine that is both immediately enjoyable and reveals aging potential. - Gerardo [TS10/24]
