Time to sit up and take notice of the famed Ornellaia’s second wine, le Serre Nuove. The flagship Ornellaia bottling is legendary as one of the first “Super Tuscans”, with outstanding ratings, and a price to match. Le Serre Nuove is a true “second wine”: the grapes come from the same vineyards, and the winemaking is identical. Historically, it was made from younger vines that didn’t offer the depth and complexity essential for inclusion in the flagship bottling. Initially, le Serre Nuove, while tasty, didn’t come close the level of 1st “growth.” Makes sense, considering the young vines. But the oldest vines are approaching 40 years now… and the “young vines” really aren’t so young anymore, so…
James Suckling: 95 Points
"The brightness and purity of fruit is so beautiful here, showing flowers and currants. Very aromatic. Lots of finesse and focus on the medium-bodied palate with super-fine tannins and a lovely finish. Lively. 65% merlot, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. Why wait on this?"
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
"A smooth red, this evokes cedar, plum, black currant, blackberry, vanilla and resin aromas and flavors. Broad and dense, with accents of leather, earth and tobacco on the long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2036."
Vinous Media: 92 Points
"The 2022 Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is everything a second wine should be. Open-knit and racy, the 2022 caresses the palate with succulent red fruit. Floral and spice notes with a kick of blood orange open the wine nicely on the mid-palate and into the finish. Soft, silky tannins wrap it all together. This stylish red from Ornellaia is ready to go."
