Mormoreto Toscana IGT 2020

Lamberto Frescobaldi writes, "walking among the rows of Cabernet and Petit Verdot, my thoughts always turn back to 150 years ago, when my ancestors first planted these varieties with the desire to produce a great wine. A goal that, we can now say with absolute certainty, has been realised in this bottle. Since 1983, Cru Mormoreto has been producing a wine with a vibrant, deep and harmonious character. And since 2013, a small amount of Sangiovese has further emphasised its elegance. The Mormoreto vineyard is located at an altitude of about 300 metres above sea level, on sandy soils, with a south-westerly exposure. The 2018 harvest yielded perfectly ripe grapes with a nice acidic streak. After vinification, Mormoreto is aged in French oak barrels for about two years, taking full advantage of the natural micro-oxygenation provided by the wood. Then, after bottling, the following months of refinement allow Mormoreto to balance itself, expressing its full elegance and potential. Intense and brilliant ruby red in colour, its bouquet is intriguing and ranges from notes of fruit such as cranberry, raspberry, fig jam and black cherry, in perfect balance with spicy and balsamic notes. In the mouth, however, it is fresh, complex, persistent, balanced and round.
