TENUTA DELL’ORNELLAIA Le Serre Nuove 2012
In the cellar
The cellar is the continuation of the vineyard. Here as well each vineyard is treated as an individual, vinified separately, with the objective to express the specific character of its parcel. Again the palate is our main tool, the daily tasting of the fermenting wines allow us to adapt extraction and maceration time to each of the 70 to 80 base wines, that will mature separately in small French oak barrels, before being selected and blended to achieve a subtle balance: expressing the specific character of the vintage while keeping Ornellaia’s voluptuous elegance.

WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES – 2012
“The fruit of an especially concentrated vintage, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2006 displays a decidedly rich, mature personality. Deeply colored, it presents warm red berry fruit, coca, and spice aromas. On the palate it’s ample and round, with perfectly ripe, well polished tannins and rich fruit supported by perfectly balanced acidity. The union of Merlot’s richness, Petit Verdot’s freshness, and the Cabernets’ structure forge an unmistakable path for the 2006.”
