Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove, 2018
The prestigious Tenuta dell’Ornellaia winery was founded by Lodovico Antinori, a man of incredible pedigree in Tuscany (his aunt being married to Marchese Mario, the man who at Sassicaia was responsible for beginning the Super-Tuscan movement).
Beginning in 1981, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia has rapidly become one of the worlds finest estates and reached iconic status in Italy.
The estates' second wine, 'Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia’ is an extraordinary achievement and the 2018 vintage is everything a second wine should be. Open-knit and silky, with impeccable balance and tons of luxurious velvety appeal.
Exhibiting truly stunning aromas this Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend combine to create a balanced, dark red wine marked by fragrant tobacco leaf, intense fruit notes and spices. The palate is firmly-structured and complex, with silky tannins and remarkable aromatic richness, and the progression culminates in a long, firm finish.
This is a truly gorgeous and super sophisticated wine from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia and incredibly well priced for the superlative level of quality.
Rich, elegant and stylish and drinking wonderfully through to 2024.
