Description
Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia, comes to light in the evocative landscape of Bolgheri, in one of the most vocated areas of Tuscany. Produced with the same passion and attention to detail reserved for Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore, Le Serre Nuove is a true "second vin". A blend that combines immediate pleasantness and taste-olfactory complexity with proven ageing potential.
Vinification
Harvesting was done by hand in 15 kg crates and the grapes were selected on a double sorting table before and after destemming and then subjected to a soft crushing. Since 2016, optical sorting has been introduced in addition to manual selection to further increase the quality of the selection. Each variety and each plot was vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation took place partly in stainless steel vats, partly in concrete vats, at temperatures between 22-28°C for a fortnight followed by maceration for approximately 10-15 days. Malolactic fermentation took place in steel vats, after which the wines were transferred to barriques (25% new and 75% second passage).
Refinement
The wine remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellars at a controlled temperature for a period of about 15 months. After the first 12 months it was blended and then reintroduced into the barriques where it spent a further 3 months. The wine remained in the bottle for six months before release.

Sommelier Suggestion | We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow it to aerate and awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 10 years. |
Tasting Notes | In the glass it shows an intense ruby red colour with purple hues. The nose reveals without shyness an evident and generous aromatic expression, characterised by aromas of ripe red fruits. On the palate the wine is soft, round and enveloping, but at the same time full-bodied and substantial, showing great balance between structure, fullness and elegance. |
Pairing Advice | |
Pairing | An excellent companion to accompany an entire meal. First courses with meat sauce, second courses of stewed meat, game and grilled meat, but also suitable to be enjoyed with blue cheese. |
