Tasting Notes

Ornellaia was founded in 1981 undergoing several changes of ownership until it was taken over by the Frescobaldi family in 2005. Located near Bolgheri with around 192 hectares in total encompassing the vineyards, winery and the adjacent Bellaria property just North of Bolgheri. One of the driving forces of the Super Tuscan movement, the estates “Ornellaia”, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is a seductive and evocative wine that has won much praise from wine critics and drinkers alike with its impressive colour, concentration and intensity of aroma and flavour. Other wines from the estate provide great quality also including Le Serre Nuove and Le Volte blends. Made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a true “second vin”. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot, it combines approachability and a depth of flavour with proven ageing potential.

Critic Scores

The Ornellaia 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia (a proprietary blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is a generous and darkly toned red blend that has the extra fruit fiber, sweetness and generous plumpness of a warm vintage. The fullness of the fruit is on full display, but in a very relaxed and natural manner. The wine never feels like too much. The tannins are yielding and velvety, and this purebred Tuscan red wraps thickly over the palate. It's poised for near- and medium-term drinking.

Currants and bark with some cinnamon and flowers. Round and velvety with spice and chocolate as well as walnuts. Long and flavorful. 44% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, and 13% Cabernet Franc.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Le Serre Nuove draws from Ornellaia's established Bolgheri vineyard (57 hectares total), located on the Tuscan Coast between the Tyrrhenian Sea and inland hills. These vineyards rest on gravelly, clay-rich soils typical of the region, with excellent drainage and sun exposure. The 2020 vintage began with a cooler spring and moderate summer temperatures, followed by warm conditions in September that favoured optimal ripeness without excessive sugar levels. Sustainable viticultural practices including leaf plucking and careful canopy management were employed throughout the season.

Vinification

Harvested fruit undergoes rigorous sorting and careful destemming before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel and wooden vessels. The wine ferments with extended skin contact to develop colour and fine tannin structure. Post-fermentation, malolactic conversion occurs in French oak barriques where the wine rests for approximately 12 to 14 months. The blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc) is assembled to emphasise secondary fruit nuances and silky tannins characteristic of Le Serre Nuove's philosophy.

About this Wine

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is located in one of the world’s most exciting wine regions: Bolgheri. A breathtaking avenue lined by towering cypress trees leads inland from the Aurelia, the old Roman coastal road, up to the walls of Bolgheri’s medieval hamlet. From the village the view extends far out to sea and on a clear day the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago and Corsica can be seen.

The mild maritime climate and the lush Mediterranean vegetation leave an imprint upon the character of the wines. Tenuta dell’Ornellaia's unique territory guides all aspects of production: limited quantities to ensure maximum quality, attention to every detail, selective hand harvesting, microvinification and ageing. Ornellaia is a Cabernet/Merlot wine blend. Masseto is made entirely from Merlot - it is a model of rich, silky elegance and has rapidly become a modern classic.
