Le Serre Nuove Bolgheri DOC Rosso 2021 75 cl Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

TDO LSN21

Variety: 35% Cabernet Sauvignon 50% Merlot 9% Cabernet Franc 6% Petit Verdot Climate and Harvest:

Vinification and Ageing: The grapes were handpicked into 15 kg baskets; the bunches were checked on a double selection table, before and after destemming, and finally soft-pressed. Each varietal and parcel was vinified separately. The primary fermentation, in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 26 and 30° C for a period of about a week, was followed by 10-15 days of maceration on the skins.

The malolactic fermentation, which began in the steel tanks, finished after the wine was racked into barriques (25% new and 75% a year old). The wine remained in barriques in Ornellaia's temperature-controlled cellars for about 15 months.After the first 12 months the wine was assembled, and then returned to the barriques for an additional three months of aging. After bottling, the wine aged another 6 months prior to release. Le Serre Nuove is Ornellaia's second wine, and its characteristics are determined by the final assembly of the various barriques. The grapes from the estate's youngest vineyards generally predominate in the Serre Nuove blend. The volume of Serre Nuove produced depends upon both the vintage and the final assembly, and thus varies from year to year
