Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2024

Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2024 is the refined second wine of the renowned Ornellaia estate, offering an accessible expression of Bolgheri’s celebrated coastal terroir. This Tuscan red blends Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, combining polished structure, fresh energy and silky drinkability. First created in 1997, it has become one of the region’s most respected modern Super Tuscan wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an intense ruby-red colour. Its nose opens with bright aromas of small red berries, complemented by lively balsamic notes of cypress and eucalyptus that lend a distinctly Mediterranean character. On the palate, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is supple and well balanced, with a smooth, silky tannin structure, refreshing acidity and a long, savoury finish. It is approachable in its youth, yet its depth, freshness and finely integrated tannins give it excellent potential for further bottle ageing.

Production
Produced in Bolgheri along Tuscany’s Mediterranean coast, the wine benefits from cooling sea breezes that moderate summer temperatures and help preserve freshness in the grapes. The vineyards are planted on varied soils composed of sand, clay and gravel, contributing both structure and precision. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected, including through optical sorting, before gentle destemming and pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by careful maceration. Malolactic fermentation begins in steel and is completed in oak. The individual grape varieties mature separately during the first year before being blended and aged together, with approximately 15 months in oak followed by a final resting period to harmonise the wine.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16–18°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Decanting is not essential for a young bottle, but 30–60 minutes in a decanter can reveal additional balsamic and savoury nuances; older bottles should be decanted carefully to separate any sediment. Its polished structure pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, Tuscan-style beef, lamb, wild boar, mushroom dishes, aubergine preparations and mature hard cheeses.

Producer
Founded in 1981, Ornellaia is one of Bolgheri’s benchmark estates and is internationally recognised for producing elegant, age-worthy wines influenced by the Tuscan coast. Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia was introduced in 1997 as a second wine made from younger vines, designed to express the estate’s signature sophistication with a more immediate, approachable style. Meticulous vineyard selection, optical sorting and careful maturation have helped establish it as one of the leading second wines of Italy.
