The nose opens with generous aromas of ripe black cherry, plum and cassis, layered with notes of violet, dark chocolate, sweet tobacco and a touch of cedar from its time in barrique. Subtle hints of Mediterranean herbs, graphite and warm spice add further complexity as the wine unfolds in the glass.\n\nOn the palate, this is a structured yet supple red, with the warmth of the 2022 vintage expressed as plush, sweet-edged tannins and generous, dark-fruited weight. The Merlot provides a velvety core of juicy black and red berries, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc bring backbone, freshness and savory detail—think blackcurrant, bay leaf, cocoa powder and a gentle mineral grip. The long maceration has been handled delicately, giving fine-grained tannins rather than harsh extraction. Balanced acidity keeps the wine lively and precise, with a long, polished finish that echoes with fruit, spice and a touch of toasted oak. In magnum, this wine has excellent aging potential: enjoy now for its charm and richness, or cellar it for 10–15 years to see more tertiary nuances of leather, truffle and cigar box emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLe Serre Nuove 2022 comes from Ornellaia’s estate vineyards in Bolgheri, along the Tuscan coast, where a mix of marine, alluvial and volcanic soils and constant sea breezes create an ideal environment for Bordeaux varieties. The coastal climate, with warm, sunny days and cooling nights, allows Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to ripen fully while retaining freshness. Grapes are harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, typically by hand, to preserve berry integrity. In line with Ornellaia’s philosophy, the must undergoes relatively long macerations to achieve a gentle, refined extraction of color, aroma and tannin. After fermentation, the individual lots are aged for about 15 months in French oak barriques, one-third of which are new, adding structure and complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The final blend is usually assembled around 12 months after fermentation, ensuring each component has found its voice before being harmonized into the finished wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Bolgheri Rosso is a versatile, food-friendly wine that shines alongside rich, savory dishes.

Game birds, mushroom risotto, truffle-infused dishes and aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano Reggiano also complement its depth and structure. Serve at 16–18°C (about 60–64°F) to highlight both fruit and freshness.

The combination of well‑drained, rocky parcels, cooling sea breezes and marked diurnal temperature swings helps Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc ripen fully while preserving aromatic lift and natural acidity. Grapes are harvested by hand, parcel by parcel, with strict sorting to ensure only perfectly healthy, optimally ripe clusters are used. Fermentation typically takes place in temperature‑controlled stainless steel tanks, with careful extraction to capture finesse rather than power. The wine then matures in French oak barriques—largely from Bordeaux coopers—for around two years, with a judicious use of new oak to frame the fruit without overwhelming it.

These vineyards sit on a mix of marine, alluvial and volcanic soils, benefitting from the moderating influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which tempers heat and preserves aromatic freshness. Grapes are harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, then vinified separately to capture the nuance of each site and variety; in total, around 80 individual wines are made before the final blend is composed. Fermentation and maceration are tailored to each lot to achieve depth and polish without excessive extraction. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barriques, up to 70% new, sourced from a broad selection of coopers and different toasting levels—deliberately chosen so that the oak signature is complex and layered rather than dominated by a single style. This meticulous approach underpins Ornellaia’s hallmark combination of density, elegance and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrnellaia 2022 is an outstanding partner for rich, flavourful dishes such as dry-aged bistecca alla fiorentina, slow-braised beef short ribs, lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic, venison loin, or truffle-infused pasta and risotto. It also shines with aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Toscano and mature Comté. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F); in demi format, the wine opens fairly quickly, but decanting for 45–60 minutes will help soften the youthful structure and allow the dark fruit and spice notes to fully unfurl.
