Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia DOC 2022

Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is the junior red of the Bolgheri estate that helped establish the Tuscan coast as fine wine country.

Le Serre Nuove is the second wine of Ornellaia, an estate founded at Bolgheri in 1981 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori and now owned by Marchesi Frescobaldi. It was introduced in the late 1990s and takes its fruit from the parcels and younger vines not selected for the flagship, made in the same way but with a lighter hand. Bolgheri lies on the Tuscan coast, where gravel and clay soils and constant sea breezes suit Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot far better than the Sangiovese grown inland. Parcels are picked and fermented separately, then matured for roughly fifteen months in French oak barriques, a smaller share of them new than for the grand vin.

A short decant helps; serve at about 18 degrees with grilled meats, mushroom pasta or a wedge of mature pecorino, and expect it to drink well for eight to ten years.
