Mormoreto 

Tuscany IGT

Walking among the rows of Cabernet and, Petit Verdot, my thoughts always run to 150 years ago, when my ancestors

first planted these varietals with the desire to produce a great wine. Since 1983 this desire has been fulfilled

with Cru Mormoreto, a wine with a vibrant, deep and harmonious character. Since 2013 a small amount of Sangiovese has

further emphasized its elegance.

Vinification and maturation

The Mormoreto vineyard is located at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level, on sandy soils with a southwest exposure. The

harvest of the grapes from the Mormoreto vineyard was done manually in 15-kg crates. After an initial sorting of the

clusters in the vineyard, these were further sorted upon their arrival at the winery. This attention to detail ensured

the highest possible quality. The 2019 harvest yielded wonderfully ripe grapes with a wonderful vein of

acidity. Malo-lactic fermentation took place immediately after racking. At the end of the year, Mormoreto began its

course of aging in French oak barrels, where it remained for the next two years, deriving maximum

benefit from the natural micro-oxygenation provided by the oak. After bottling, the subsequent months of aging

allowed Mormoreto to balance itself, expressing its elegance and potential to the fullest.

Tasting Notes.

Mormoreto 2019 shows an intense and brilliant ruby red color with purple highlights. The bouquet is extremely

complex, ranging from notes of red fruits - such as cranberry, raspberry and black cherry - to hints of date and fig, with

a delicately citrusy finish. Floral sensations of jasmine and dog rose are also interesting. At a later

moment more evolved notes of coffee bean, cocoa powder, tea and tobacco are recognized. The palate is complex,

persistent and balanced. The tannins are soft and silky. Extremely long finish.
