Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia Methuselah - 2018
Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia Methuselah – 2018 – Bolgheri DOC Rosso
Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is the “second wine” produced by Ornellaia, following the same philosophy of the great Chateaux of Bordeaux. The first year of production was 1997, the wine having the same designation of origin, coming from the same terroir and types of grapes, from the same practices used in the vineyard, vinification processes and maturation in oak barrels as in the case of Ornellaia. Obtained in most of the younger vines of the estate, Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia can be described as a younger approach to Ornellaia wine. The complexity and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are complemented by the silky roundness of Merlot and the freshness and crunchy acidity of Petit Verdot. Each variety and each block of plots are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks for better quality control. The sorting of the grains is done manually. The maceration on the stalk lasts 10 days, and the alcoholic fermentation takes place at 26-30 degrees Celsius. Malolactic fermentation is started in stainless steel tanks and completed in small oak barrels, where maturation also occurs.
