"Savoury, moreish, mouthwatering, what more could you want? Expect generous amounts of black fruits riven through with dried herbs, olive tapenade, fennel, crushed rose petals, liqourice root and so much joy. Stainless steel fermentation, 30% new oak for ageing, followed by six months in bottle before release. Marco Balsimelli had arrived at the estate by this point, so changes were underfoot." (02/2026)

"Ornellaia’s second wine, Le Serre Nuove provides an enticing glimpse into its vaunted sibling, but it should also be appreciated for its own merits. The 2023 charms with fluency of expression and immediate graciousness. Gorgeous fragrances of cherry blossom, cocoa and cedar swirl around red plum. Pure blackberry joins in on the elegant and silky palate, gracefully weighted with an underlying juiciness. The tannins are sweet, soft and very finessed, and notes of green tobacco and exotic spice draw out the finish. Kudos to new winemaker Marco Balsimelli and team!" - Michaela Morris (09/2025)

"A step up in concentration, impact and intensity, this is very pure and precise in its wine-making and very authentic in the clarity of its fruit impression. Cassis, black cherry, a little dark plum skin. White pepper. There’s little or no sensation of oak. Crystalline and glistening on the finish. There’s a lovely oyster shell salinity too, with liquorice on the finish. Not a complex wine, but beautifully made." - Colin Hay (03/2026)
