Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is one of Italy's iconic estates, so we are therefore delighted to have received a small allocation of Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso 2019.
Leading Italian wine critic, James Suckling, once stated "if Italy had a classification system similar to Bordeaux, then Ornellaia would be a First Growth... Ornellaia is a modern legend in Tuscan winemaking" and we couldn't agree more. Furthermore, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a true "second vin"... a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot, made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia; it combines approachability and a depth of flavour with proven ageing potential.
Now one of the most sought after producers in Tuscany (last week Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia retained its place in Tier 5 of Liv-ex's 2021 Classification), no Italian wine lover's cellar would be complete without a case of this wine.
Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2019 | £228 IB
54% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.
"Currants, sweet tobacco, walnut husk and flowers on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied, it grows on the palate, with firm yet polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Very solid and well-crafted second wine from Ornellaia. Drink after 2023." 95/100 points. James Suckling
"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." 94/100 points. Monica Larner (Wine Advocate)
"With its usual intense colour, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2019 has a nose full of fresh notes of ripe red fruits, accompanied by a lively balsamic vein with aromatic hints of cypress and eucalyptus berries. The wine is soft and silky in the mouth, filling it with an elegant tannic texture and a sapid and persistent finish." Olga Fusari - Le Serre Nuove Winemaker
