IT Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC

It was in 1981 that the Marquis Lodovico Antinori, cousin of Piero Antinori, founded the Ornellaia Estate, in the heart of the Bolgheri area, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. 

Thus, with the first harvest of 1985, what would become an icon among the SuperTuscans was born: the “Ornellaia”. With the inauguration of the company, the world-famous enologist, Michel Rolland, begins to deal with the technical part of the cellar. 

Subsequently, in the 90s the other two labels were born: “Le Volte” and “Le Serre Nuove”.

Made with the same passion and attention to detail as Ornellaia, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a true “second vin”.

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it combines approachability and a depth of flavour with proven ageing potential.
