The 2022 Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC Rosso is the highly regarded second wine of Ornellaia, crafted on the Tuscan coast from a Merlot-dominant Bordeaux-style blend (around 65% Merlot, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc). It reflects the estate’s signature precision with a more approachable, vibrant and fruit-forward style. The nose is expressive and aromatic, showing blackberry, blackcurrant and plum, layered with notes of violet, spice, cedar and subtle toasted oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a juicy, polished texture and silky tannins. Ripe dark fruit, floral lift and savoury nuances are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a vibrant, elegant and persistent finish. The style is generous yet refined, combining richness and depth with freshness and finesse - offering the essence of Ornellaia with earlier drinkability and strong aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
