"Moreccio" Bolgheri Rosso DOC 2022

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah that offers an intense and satisfying taste experience. This is Moreccio, Bolgheri DOC from Fattoria Casa di Terra that represents the young and lively soul of the winery. A fortunate cross between three international varieties that have found a perfect habitat in Bolgheri. The Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine structure and complexity. The Merlot softness and roundness. While the Syrah adds intriguing spicy notes and a lingering finish. The grapes are harvested by hand at the optimal time of ripeness to best preserve the aromas and fragrances. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. A pre-fermentative cold maceration allows maximum colour and aroma to be extracted from the grapes, while spontaneous fermentation, triggered with indigenous yeasts, enhances the characteristics of the terroir. Maturation of 6 months in second and third passage French oak barriques completes the process, giving the wine softness and complexity. In the glass, Moreccio has an intense and deep ruby red colour. On the nose, one perceives aromas of ripe red fruits, such as blackberry and plum, with spicy and vanilla notes. In the mouth, however, the wine is soft and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish. Excellent as an aperitif, with a platter of sliced meats, meat ragout and grilled red meats.
