Tasting notes:

A proud second vin, Le Serre Noeve is Merlot based and aged for about 15 months. After the first 12 months the wine was blended before returning to the barriques for an additional three months and a further six months in the bottle prior to release. Delightful on the nose with red and dark berry fruit alongside notes of pepper and mediterranean herbs. Elegant on the palate with smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity.

Critic Scores

Robert Parker | 93

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.

James Suckling | 94

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 2026.
