Tenuta Dell’Ornellaia - Serre Nuove - 2018 - 750ml - Tenuta Dell’Ornellaia

The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia aged in oak for 15 months. The wine shows depth, concentration and generous fruit weight that adds to the intensity and the textural importance of this abundant, full-bodied expression. Late-season rains threw some challenges at the winemakers of Bolgheri, but this open-knit wine has emerged unscathed. This vintage was released in September of last year, but I have also written a review in this report of the younger 2019 vintage.
