This \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Merlot\u003c\/strong\u003e, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot combines a solid structure with a pleasant and smooth drinkability. It presents an intense ruby colour, while on the nose it releases aromas of small red fruits enriched by a \u003cstrong\u003elively balsamic note\u003c\/strong\u003e of cypress and eucalyptus. On the palate it is soft, supported by a silky tannic texture that leads to a \u003cstrong\u003elong and savoury finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, with excellent potential for ageing over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is produced in Bolgheri, along a stretch of the Tuscan coast influenced by the constant proximity of the Mediterranean Sea. The local microclimate benefits from \u003cstrong\u003efresh sea breezes\u003c\/strong\u003e that moderate the temperatures, ensuring an ideal balance between grape ripening and the preservation of acidity. The varied soils, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003ematrix of sand, clay and gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e, give the wine its typical structural imprint. Produced by Ornellaia from younger vines, it expresses the essence of a \u003cstrong\u003erenowned coastal terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e, maintaining a consistently vibrant and defined taste energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual harvest involves a rigorous selection of the bunches, which are destemmed and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature, accompanied by careful maceration to encourage extraction. Malolactic fermentation begins in steel and is completed in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the wine rests to acquire depth and complexity. The maturation process requires the varieties to remain separate for the first year; afterwards, the blend continues to mature together to enhance the \u003cstrong\u003efineness of the tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. A careful \u003cstrong\u003efinal resting period\u003c\/strong\u003e completes its sensory balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in 1997, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is the prestigious second wine of the iconic Bolgheri estate, designed to combine the excellence of a great Tuscan red with immediate drinkability.
