Time to sit up and take notice of the famed Ornellaia’s second wine, le Serre Nuove. The flagship Ornellaia bottling is legendary as one of the first “Super Tuscans”, with outstanding ratings, and a price to match. Le Serre Nuove is a true “second wine”: the grapes come from the same vineyards, and the winemaking is identical. Historically, it was made from younger vines that didn’t offer the depth and complexity essential for inclusion in the flagship bottling. Initially, le Serre Nuove, while tasty, didn’t come close the level of 1st “growth.” Makes sense, considering the young vines. But the oldest vines are approaching 40 years now… and the “young vines” really aren’t so young anymore, so…

“A lot going on the nose here; coffee, leather, blackcurrant, black cherries. This is amazing from the start, such incredible texture, grip and depth of flavours which are dark and rich, full of black liquorice, tar, coffee grounds and menthol aspects that just coat the whole mouth. This feels quite serious - it's rich, layered, so deep and heady, structured but so well handled, detailed and sculpted. There is freshness but you get pure power here. Round and full but elegant at the same time. Great stuff.”
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
“A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2019 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia shows a greater degree of focus and detail compared to the previous vintage that I tasted at the same time. This wine reveals the sharp contours and etched character of the Cabernet Franc, especially with black licorice and black pepper. The results are linear and pure. Elegant fruit notes of blackberry and dark currant add to the thick layering of the wine.”
