Le Serre Nuove 2022 Tenuta dell' Ornellaia

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The Ornellaia 2022 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc that saw 15 months in barrique with one-third new oak. Following in the general Ornellaia philosophy, the team has been leaning off long maceration times for more delicate extraction. Blending for this wine usually occurs 12 months after fermentation. This vintage is structured and rich with sweet tannins and a supple texture. This hot vintage brings more fruit weight for sure, but the wine remains fresh and well balanced overall.

The brightness and purity of fruit is so beautiful here, showing flowers and currants. Very aromatic. Lots of finesse and focus on the medium-bodied palate with super-fine tannins and a lovely finish. Lively. 65% merlot, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc.

65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc.
Lots to like (except for the extravagant price!). Intense, concentrated, dark hue in the glass. Love the floral notes with violet to the fore. Plenty of tannic power, this has all the concentration needed to age extremely well for up to 10 years. But hard to argue it's good value. (AWH)
