Wine Description
Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2021, a gem from the esteemed Ornellaia winery, stands as a testament to the art of winemaking in the heart of Italy’s Bolgheri DOC Rosso region. Crafted with passion and expertise, this wine captures the essence of its prestigious lineage, offering a glimpse into the soul of its flagship counterpart with its own unique story. The blend, a carefully balanced mix of 50% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 11% Petit Verdot, showcases the winery’s commitment to excellence and innovation under the guidance of winemaker Olga Fusari and estate director Axel Heinz.
Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2021 reveals itself in a bright ruby red color, adorned with purple highlights, inviting the eye with its brilliance. The aroma promises a journey through a Mediterranean landscape, with refreshing notes of pink pepper and cypress berries that evoke the vibrant nature surrounding the vineyards. This wine is a celebration of the senses, crafted from a vintage that Olga Fusari describes as “high calibre and deeply satisfying.”
Tasting Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is an elegant experience. It greets the palate with a lovely acidity that dances with vibrant fruit flavors, leading to a savory finish that lingers, beckoning for another sip. The wine’s structure is supported by tannins that shine through, balanced and smooth, ensuring that each sip is as rewarding as the last.
The 2021 growing season was a journey of contrasts, beginning with a mild and rainy winter that replenished the soil’s water resources. A dry March led to an early budbreak in April, setting the stage for a summer that would challenge and ultimately highlight the resilience and potential of the vineyard’s grapes. The lack of rain in the summer months, coupled with the estate’s deep soils, allowed for the cultivation of small, highly concentrated grapes. This resulted in a harvest that was carefully timed to capture the essence of each vineyard, a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that defines Ornellaia.
Vinification and ageing of Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia are processes where tradition meets innovation. Handpicked grapes undergo a double selection process before and after de-stemming, ensuring only the best berries make it into the wine. The introduction of optical selection in 2016 further exemplifies the winery’s commitment to quality. Fermentation and maceration are tailored to each variety and parcel, with ageing in barriques that balance new and used wood, culminating in a wine that is a true expression of its terroir and heritage.
The critical acclaims for Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2021 highlight its exceptional quality and potential for aging. Wine Spectator awarded it 93 points, praising its polished, complex profile with vibrant flavors of black currant, blackberry, and plum, complemented by floral and iron notes. They foresee its evolution into an even more exquisite wine by 2025 through 2040.
Wine Enthusiast gave it 95 points, captivated by its meaty, umami aromas balanced by dark fruit and a sanguine tanginess. The presence of smoke, pepper, and tar, lifted by vanilla and chocolate on the palate, ensures a spicy earthiness that’s supported by steadfast tannins and lively acidity.
The Wine Advocate also rated it 93 points, noting its opulent dark fruit character, exotic spice, and the creamy finish of vanilla and cinnamon, suggesting a few more years for the oak to fully integrate.
Jeb Dunnuck awarded an impressive 95 points, admiring this vintage as one of the greats for the cuve, particularly for Bordeaux enthusiasts. Its harmonious blend of kirsch, leather, Mediterranean herbs, and crushed flowers offers purity and depth, with refined tannins and outstanding length.
Lastly, James Suckling gave it 94 points, recognizing its firm and linear structure with a vibrant mix of currant, berry, chocolate, and cedar. He highlights its fine tannins and focused energy, recommending patience until at least 2026 for its best expression.
In summary, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2021 is more than just a wine; it is a narrative of a year in the life of the vineyard, a story of challenges overcome and the joy of harvest. It stands as a proud second vin to Ornellaia, offering its own distinctive point of view while embodying the philosophy and personality of the estate. Whether you’re new to the world of fine wines or a seasoned aficionado, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia invites you to experience the pleasure of discovery, sip by sip, as it evolves and matures over time.
