Proprietary Blend: 750ml

about this wine:
Le Serre Nuove is the `second vin' of Ornellaia. Its composition is decided upon at the moment of the final blending of Ornellaia by choosing the barriques which combine characteristics of youthfulness and suppleness with the structure, balance and intensity typical of the Estate's great terroir. Fruit from the younger vineyards on the Estate usually make up the majority of the blend. Quantities are governed by the vintage and final blending decisions, and can therefore vary from year to year.

Chewy and structured, with lots of berry and vanilla cream aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with lovely concentration. Slightly hollow at the moment, but should come together with bottle age. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best after 2009. 12,610 cases made. –JS
