The 2020 Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Rosso is the highly regarded second wine of Ornellaia, crafted on the Tuscan coast from a Bordeaux-style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It reflects the estate’s signature style with a more approachable, fruit-forward expression, combining generosity with elegance. The nose is expressive and inviting, showing ripe red and dark fruits such as blackberry, plum and cherry, layered with hints of spice, cedar, mocha and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and velvety tannins. Juicy dark fruit, sweet spice and savoury nuances are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a harmonious, polished and persistent finish. The style is generous yet refined, offering the depth and structure of a Super Tuscan with earlier drinkability and excellent balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value entry points into Ornellaia. Perfect for customers who want the prestige and style of a Super Tuscan in a more approachable and versatile format. Drink now or cellar for 8–12 year.
