FEATURES
The 2022 Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia, the second wine of the esteemed Ornellaia estate, showcases signature elegance and freshness despite the vintage's solar character. This vintage is structured and rich, with sweet tannins and a supple texture, reflecting ideal growing conditions that allowed grapes to develop rich flavors while retaining a bright and balanced character. It's crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as Ornellaia's flagship wine, but from younger vines.

Tasting Notes: This red blend displays a deep red-purple hue. The nose is both savory and floral, with aromas of violets, crushed rose petals, fresh brewed coffee, topsoil, mixed herbs, and figs. Ripe black fruit, spices, and lightly toasted wood aromas also shine through. On the palate, it offers a generous and juicy prologue, followed by rich, firm tannins. Expect tangy richness of black cherries, black figs, and dark chocolate, with a current of mint, saltwater, and licorice creating a very fresh, vibrant feel. It's a smooth red, evoking cedar, plum, black currant, blackberry, vanilla, and resin, with broad and dense accents of leather, earth, and tobacco on the long finish.
Food Pairing: This full-bodied red wine is an excellent match for rich meat dishes. Consider pairing it with lamb tagine, roast rack of lamb, or beef long ribs on the barbecue. For an immediate delightful experience, decant it for two hours and serve with a juicy prime rib done rare.
Event Suggestions: Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion meal, or a gathering with friends where a powerful and elegant red wine is desired. Its ability to drink well now and evolve over the next decade makes it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.
