Mormoreto is a historic wine produced by Castello Nipozzano, 35km north east of Florence. A symbol of Tuscan winemaking traditions, this wine maintains specific ties with the style of its lands.
The history of the Frescobaldi family starts over a thousand years ago and is closely connected with the history of Tuscany. At the high point of medieval Florence, the Frescobaldis spread their influence as bankers, earning the title of treasures to the English crown. A little later, with the flowering of the Renaissance, they became patrons of major works in Florence, such as the construction of the Santa Trinita bridge and the Basilica of Santo Spirito.

Exotic aromas of crushed dark fruit and nectarines follow through to a full body, round and chewy tannins. Yet, there’s lovely texture and richness to this. Some tea at the finish. Bright. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, sangiovese and petit verdot. Try after 2021..June/2019

The Frescobaldi 2016 Mormoreto is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and lots of Tuscan sunshine. The wine is round and rich, imparting thick layers of dark fruit, plum and black cherry. On the finish, it follows up with spice, tar, licorice and sweet tobacco. You get a lot of dark fruit and vinous bang in this bottle..October/2020

Intense and aromatic, exuding black currant, blueberry and iron flavors, with hints of lavender and tobacco. A dusting of firm tannins lines the finish. Tips toward the dry side, but not overly astringent. Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2026.

Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese, this opens with attractive aromas of black-skinned berry, underbrush and graphite. The savory palate offers blackberry jam, tobacco and espresso alongside fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced.
