    The Refined Elegance of an Iconic Bolgheri Super Tuscan

    Crafted from the same varieties, under the same sky, from the same philosophy: Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a proud second vin which displays a deep ruby red hue with a purple rim that emphasise the youth and concentration of the wine. Ripe fruits of the forest and cherries stand out clearly among the aromas, interwoven with discreet spice notes, which are typical of the ripeness of our grapes. Polished tannins make their presence felt on the palate, underpinned by a harmonious body that is perfectly balanced by an upbeat freshness. The poise between power and flow provides an easy-drinking and engaging wine, which promises to evolve over time, although it is ready to be enjoyed now.

    "A smooth and elegant wine with aromas of spice, milk chocolate, vanilla, milk, mint, graphite and dark fruit. Silky and velvety on the palate, with ripe tannins, crisp acidity, a full body, clove flavours and amazing complexity."
    -James Suckling

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Handpicked into small 15 kg baskets to ensure pristine condition, the grapes undergo a rigorous double hand-sorting process both before and after de-stemming, followed by gentle soft-pressing. To elevate selection standards even further, optical berry sorting technology was introduced in 2016. Each grape variety and individual parcel of land is vinified separately to honor its unique micro-terroir. Fermentation takes place over two weeks in a combination of stainless steel tanks and concrete vats at controlled temperatures between 22°C and 28°C, followed by 10 to 15 days of post-fermentation maceration. Following malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is racked into oak barriques (25% new, 75% second-fill) deep in the iconic Ornellaia cellars. The wine ages in barrel for 15 months total: after the initial 12 months, the master blend is assembled before returning to barriques for a final 3-month integration, followed by an additional 6 months of bottle resting prior to release.

    The 2023 Bolgheri vintage was demanding but rewarded dedicated growers with wines of remarkable balance and power. A wet spring filled water reserves, while warm summer days and cool September nights allowed the grapes to ripen gradually. The result is rich fruit concentration, vibrant acidity, and deep aromatic complexity.
