Proprietary Blend: 750ml
$59.99
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.

Very pretty aromas of chocolate, currants and light cream. Full and soft with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Why wait? But will improve with age.

The 2010 Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia shows off tons of concentration and sheer depth. Mocha, espresso, dark cherries and plums are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 is a decidedly powerful, virile wine endowed with considerable power. It will be interesting to see how the layers of flavor flesh out once the wine has been bottled. For now, the 2010 is a highly promising Serre Nuove. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. -Antonio Galloni

Good full, dark ruby-red. Strawberry, minerals, bitter chocolate and musky herbs on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. Bright, well-integrated acidity gives shape and verve to the flavors of blackberry, dried spices and violet. Deeper and more intense than the Le Volte, but much less fruity than the Ornellaia. In this vintage you can really tell this is the second wine to Ornellaia. Finishes with serious tannic structure and persistent black fruits.
