Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia, Bolgeri Rosso Magnum

Some wines seem to benefit particularly well from time, and this magnum of Le Serre Nuove is one of them. Produced by the acclaimed Ornellaia estate in Bolgheri, this 2014 vintage reflects a cooler growing season that brought freshness, poise and understated complexity. Dried cherry, plum, tobacco leaf and gentle spice sit alongside well-integrated oak, unfolding gradually in the glass with a freshness that carries through to the finish. The magnum format has allowed the wine to mature at a slower pace, wonderfully preserving its balance and character. It’s a rewarding bottle that shows just how compelling this vintage can be when given the time it deserves.
