Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia 2024 interprets the estate’s vintage with its own identity while sharing the grape varieties and philosophy of Ornellaia’s flagship wine. The 2024 is officially classified as Toscana IGT Rosso and places freshness, precision and elegant tannins at the centre of its style.

The character of the 2024 vintage

The growing season started early after a mild, rainy first part of the year. From late June, warmer and sunnier conditions supported ripening, while localized storms in mid-August and alternating cool and sunny days in September accompanied the harvest. The estate describes 2024 as a balanced, dynamic vintage marked by freshness and aromatic intensity.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes were harvested by hand in 15 kg crates. Bunches were selected before and after destemming, followed by optical sorting and gentle crushing. Each grape variety and parcel was vinified separately, with fermentation in stainless steel and concrete at 22-26 °C for about ten days and maceration lasting around 10-15 days.

Malolactic fermentation took place partly in steel and partly in barriques. The wine aged for about 15 months in barriques, 30% new and 70% second- and third-use. After the first 8 months the final blend was assembled, followed by another 7 months in wood and 6 months in bottle before release.

Tasting profile

The colour is deep and intense with purple highlights. Red fruit, raspberry and redcurrant lead the nose, joined by floral nuances and light spice. The palate is fresh, crisp and dynamic, with good density and elegant tannins carrying a long, fruit-driven finish.

Why we recommend it

It is one of the most immediate expressions of the Ornellaia style: structured and age-worthy, yet focused on energy, balance and drinkability. The 2024 vintage adds a particularly bright and fragrant profile while preserving its identity as the estate’s second wine.
