Tenuta dell'Ornellaia - The New Serres of Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC 2021 cl75

Description

Produced with the same passion and attention to detail reserved for Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a true “second vin”. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it combines immediate pleasure and complexity of taste and aroma with proven aging potential.

Born from the same vines, under the same sky, from the same philosophy. Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a proud second wine, it has the gift of anticipating the character of the vintage of the estate's flagship wine and, at the same time, of offering its own point of view. The joy of its sip evolves over time, adding the charm of maturity to the energy of youth.

“The son of a vintage that has proved to be of great quality and satisfaction, Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2021 reveals the good tannic quality and well-measured concentration that characterizes the wines of this vintage.
In the glass it displays a brilliant ruby ​​red color, with the usual purple reflections. On the nose it is fresh, with hints of pink pepper and cypress berries, which recall the Mediterranean scrub.
On tasting, the wine is elegant, with a nice acidity and a persistent and savoury finish that invites a second sip.”

Production method

The harvest was done by hand in 15 kg boxes and the bunches were selected on a double sorting table before and after destemming and finally subjected to a soft pressing. Each variety and each parcel was vinified separately.
Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at temperatures between 26-30°C for two weeks, followed by maceration for approximately 10-15 days.
Malolactic fermentation began in steel vats and was completed after transfer to barriques (25% new and 75% second passage). The wine remained in barriques in the Ornellaia cellar at a controlled temperature for a period of approximately 15 months.
After the first 12 months the wine was assembled and then reintroduced into the barriques where it spent another 3 months.
The wine remains in the bottle for six months before being introduced to the market.
