Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia 2021 is an exquisite expression of Tuscany’s renowned Bolgheri region, where Mediterranean climate and exceptional terroir converge to produce premium wines. Crafted by the prestigious Ornellaia estate, founded in 1981, this Super Tuscan blend artfully combines 50% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 11% Petit Verdot, delivering a wine of remarkable balance and sophistication.

The 2021 vintage reflects an ideal growing season characterized by perfect ripening conditions, resulting in a wine with impressive depth and complexity. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of ripe dark berries, plum, and a subtle spice that meld seamlessly with delicate floral undertones. The palate offers a refined texture highlighted by layers of blackcurrant, cherry, and cassis, enveloped in silky tannins and culminating in a long, elegant finish.

Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia 2021 embodies Ornellaia’s commitment to quality and innovation, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship in every bottle. Its impressive ageing potential makes it a worthy candidate for cellaring, allowing the wine to evolve and develop nuanced characteristics over time.

This versatile Super Tuscan wine pairs beautifully with gourmet dishes such as rich meats, game, and aged cheeses, enhancing any culinary experience with its complexity and finesse. For connoisseurs seeking a wine that combines the heritage of Tuscany with modern winemaking excellence, Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia 2021 stands as a quintessential choice.

Reviews

On the nose, hot, meaty, umami aromas hold court, but dark fruit and a sanguine, tangy metallic component prevent those notes of smoke, pepper and tar from becoming overpowering. Undertones of vanilla and chocolate lift the fruit on the palate, but unyielding tannins and energetic acid ensure the spicy earthiness endures.
This is one of the great vintages for this cuvée and would be a wine for lovers of Bordeaux. The 2021 Le Serre Nuove Dell'Ornellaia sports a saturated red hue and opens to a great layered and harmonious nose, with aromas of kirsch, leather, fresh Mediterranean herbs, and crushed flowers that all resonate together with wonderful purity and depth. It’s open and generous on the palate, with refined, polished tannins, outstanding length, and refreshing acidity that’s seamlessly woven into the wine. Boy, is this hard to resist now and is a truly stunning wine from recently departed winemaker Olga Fusari. Bravo. Stash as much of this as you can away – it’s one for the ages. A great feather in the cap for Axel Heinz as well, it can only increase anticipation of the house’s top label for next year. Bravo tutti.
