Description
Le Serre Nuove may be known as Ornellaia’s little brother but it certainly does punch above its weight. The magical bouquet envelops your senses into a frenzy, such is the array of juicy red fruit and floral complexity here. The palate forms layers of dark red berry fruit, cedar, leather and exotic spice.
There’s a lovely opulence to the fruit whilst also exuding elegance and freshness which is particularly impressive. The velvety tannins melt in your mouth, leading to an immensely satisfying and lingering finish. This is an extraordinary wine, which should find a home in all cellars.

Monica Larner 93/100
The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia is a nicely extracted and rich blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This vintage is very generous, even opulent, with dark fruit that is framed by exotic spice, baking chocolate and softly toasted tones from French oak. The wine ends on a creamy note with vanilla and cinnamon. The oak needs a few more years to integrate.Drink 2024 - 2033monica_larner, Wine Advocate (May 2023)

Antonio Galloni 94/100
The 2021 Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia packs a huge punch. Masses of dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, leather, licorice and cloves saturate the palate. I don't remember a Serre Nuove with this much sheer power and somber intensity, but the balance is there, especially with aeration. It will be interesting to see how the 2021 develops. Today it is quite the powerhouse.Drink 2025 - 2036antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (August 2023)

James Suckling 94/100
A firm and linear red with currant, berry, chocolate and cedar character. It’s medium- to full-bodied. Fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It’s tight and focused. Energetic and bright. 50% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest split equally between Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.Better after 2026james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (August 2023)
