Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia 2020
Ornellaia's approachable alter ego arrives with all the elegance of Bolgheri, none of the ceremony. Le Serre Nuove blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from gravelly hillside vineyards that catch the Mediterranean sun, coaxing out black cherry, plum and ripe berries layered with violet and subtle cedar notes. The 2020 is structured yet inviting silky tannins and bright acidity work in harmony, building to a finish that lingers with grace. This is Tuscan wine made for living: pour it with dinner, share it with friends, let it warm the table. Beautiful without pretension, serious without solemnity.
"The Ornellaia 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia (a proprietary blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) is a generous and darkly toned red blend that has the extra fruit fiber, sweetness and generous plumpness of a warm vintage. The fullness of the fruit is on full display, but in a very relaxed and natural manner. The wine never feels like too much. The tannins are yielding and velvety, and this purebred Tuscan red wraps thickly over the palate. It's poised for near- and medium-term drinking" 93Pts, Drink 2022-2033, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
