Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2022

Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2022 reveals itself as the little brother of Ornellaia, but with great personality and remarkable depth. The 2022 vintage was characterized by warm temperatures, but thanks to the proximity to the sea and careful vineyard management, a wine of remarkable balance and finesse emerged.
In the glass, Le Serre Nuove presents a deep ruby red, dense and brilliant. The nose is intense and complex, characterized by dark berries—ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and a hint of cassis—accompanied by refined notes of cedarwood, sweet tobacco, fine cocoa, and a hint of graphite. Herbal and balsamic accents underscore its Tuscan origins.
On the palate, the wine is structured yet smooth. The tannins are youthful yet silky, embedded in a rich, ripe, dark fruit flavor. Precise, lively acidity lends the wine freshness and ensures a long, minerally-driven finish. Cabernet Sauvignon adds backbone and depth, Merlot provides fullness and roundness, and Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc complement with spice and finesse.
Le Serre Nuove 2022 isn't a second wine in the traditional sense—it embodies the Ornellaia philosophy in a somewhat more accessible, yet still high-class style. A wine that delights young, but will also gain complexity over time. Elegant, powerful, Mediterranean—a great Bolgheri with character.
