Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove 2022

Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove 2022 is a sophisticated and racy red wine that serves as the "second vin" of the legendary Ornellaia estate, offering a more accessible but high-class entry into the Bolgheri DOC. Despite the solar character of the 2022 vintage, the wine maintains signature elegance and freshness, displaying a deep red-purple hue and an intense bouquet of ripe black currants, blackberries, and violets with hints of Mediterranean herbs and toasted wood. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and generous, featuring silky tannins, a plush texture, and complex layers of dark cherries, figs, and cocoa. Matured for 15 months in French oak barriques (one-third new), this blend already provides a delightful drinking experience but has the structural balance to age gracefully for over a decade.
