Goedhuis, July 2022
Made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is made up of 44% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot. It enjoys a 15 month elevage in barrel with 25% new oak. This 2020 possesses fantastic aromas of dark red fruits such as Griottes cherry, blackberry and elderberry with exotic spices and sumptuous dark chocolate. Savoury and salty, with mouth-watering Mediterranean herbs and black olive to match the plush fruit flavours, this 2020 has a noticeably velvet-like texture that makes it so delicious already. Best of all, there is a beautifully vibrant freshness from start to finish. Drink 2022 - 2032

Wine Advocate, May 2022, Score: 93
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. Drink 2022-2033.
Region
Bolgheri
The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the entrance to the village. Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international French varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and reknown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.
