Description

Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is made from grapes sourced primarily from the Estates younger vineyards and made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, Le Serre Nuove dellOrnellaia combines generosity and depth of flavour with an engaging and vibrant personality. At the winery each variety and each parcel was vinified separately. Malolactic fermentation was started in stainless steel, and completed after transfer to barrels (25% new and 75% a year old). The wine remained in Ornellaias temperature-controlled cellar for a further 15 months. It was assembled after the first 12 months and then reintroduced into the barrels for a further 3 months. After bottling, it was aged for an additional six months prior to release. Le Serre Nuove dell Ornellaia 2015 perfectly represents its exceptional vintage, combining an ideal balance of elements in a way that rarely happens; a balance of ripeness, substance and a particular pleasantness. With an intense colour and youthful appearance, its intense and ripe fruity aroma with subtle spicy and toasted highlights are detected on the nose. Well-rounded and satin-smooth on the palate, great texture and harmoniously balanced, with a succulent fruitiness which ends with a zesty finish with no sharp edges, freshened by balsamic notes.
