Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2018

Ornellaia

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

Tenuta dell’Ornellaia is a 91-hectare domaine (76 hectares of which are currently cultivated) created in 1981 by Marquis Lodovico Antinori, and is planted with typical Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot). Made in the same meticulous manner as the Grand Vin Ornellaia, the estates second wine Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is the ultimate cellar staple. With a mixture of marine, alluvial and volcanic soils, the grapes from each plot are fermented separately and then expertly blended. Coming highly recommended, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia marries the very essence of Bolgheri; approachability and a depth of flavour with proven ageing potential. A perfect insight to the one of the most iconic wineries in the world and loved by collectors and investors alike.

The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dellOrnellaia is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that is aged in oak for 15 months. The wine shows depth, concentration and generous fruit weight that adds to the intensity and the textural importance of this abundant, full-bodied expression. Late-season rains threw some challenges at the winemakers of Bolgheri, but this open-knit wine has emerged unscathed. This vintage was released in September of last year, but I have also written a review in this report of the younger 2019 vintage (which will be released in September of this year).

Le Serre Nuoves approachable style comes from younger vines or those on lighter, sandier soils, whilst retaining its potential to age in bottle. 2018 brought useful winter dormancy, provocative spring deluges, hot August flushes, and cool, calming harvest nights. Its a sophisticated red with smooth, Ornellaia-esque appeal in a lighter key. Its forward-flowing, velvety fruit is well defined, clear, persistent and easy to engage with. Tannins from both fruit and oak are integrated and in sync.
