Frescobaldi Mormoreto Toscana IGT 750ml (wooden box pack size 6)

A persistent freshness complements a suite of silky tannins and hints of clove, jasmine, and grey tea leaves.

Mormoreto appears an opaque, deep ruby red. A rich, complex nose boasts well-ripened wild berries, such as blackberry and raspberry, baker’s cocoa powder and cocoa butter, roasted espresso bean and subtle notes of vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate, it is smooth and well-rounded, echoing the aromas encountered on the nose but with a more pronounced influence of bitter chocolate, crisp raspberry, single-malt whisky, and vanilla tobacco.

Frescobaldi embodies the essence of Tuscany, its extraordinary vocation for viticulture and the diversity of its territories. Frescobaldi’s uniqueness stems precisely from the representation of this diversity, from its estates and from wines which express a kaleidoscope of aromas and sensations, springing from the characteristics of each individual terroir. Behind every Frescobaldi wine lies the passion of our agronomists and oenologists, who know our vineyards and terroirs down to the finest detail. A commitment to viticulture and to agriculture in general has always been a prominent hallmark of the Frescobaldi family, who have been producing wine in Tuscany for seven hundred years, beginning in the early 1300s.

Each variety ferments and macerates separately for 35 days in stainless steel at temperatures below 35°C, followed by 20 days of maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation occurs immediately following initial fermentation. Aged in hand-split oak barrels, partly new and partly once-used, for 24 months, followed by a further 6 months in the bottle.

Tasting Note

This is in the style of the Supertuscans with Bordeaux varieties accompanying some Sangiovese. Structured and polished with black and blue fruit aromas, menthol, ripe red cherry and vanilla. Full-bodied and rich on the palate with firm tannins.
