Le Serre Nuove 2022 Dell'Ornellaia

Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is one of Italy’s most prestigious estates, located in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast. Established in 1981, the estate is known for producing Bordeaux-inspired blends that combine international grape varieties with a distinct coastal Tuscan identity.

Le Serre Nuove is considered the “second wine” of Ornellaia, crafted with the same attention to detail and vineyard sources as the flagship wine but designed for earlier accessibility. The blend typically includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, sourced from younger vines and select parcels.
