Mormoreto
The 2022 vintage started with good soil water reserves due to the average rainfall of the previous autumn. The winter was mild and quite prolonged, ending with a sunny March, which broke the dormancy of the first vine plants. Sporadic spring rains among the rows of Nipozzano vineyards gave way to a summer that was dry and very hot, albeit with the typical cool breezes of the area. The rainfall at the end of August and the end of September allowed both the early and late varieties of vines to complete their ripening cycle with an excellent and balanced concentration of fruit. The temperature range promoted the accumulation of easily extractable noble phenolic substances and complex aromas, concluding a rich and very sunny vintage.
Vinification and ageing: The vineyard is located 300 metres above sea level, planted in sandy soils with a southwestern exposure. The grapes were harvested manually in 15 kg crates. After an initial sorting of the bunches of grapes in the vineyard, they underwent further selection on arrival in the cellar. This attention to detail always ensures the highest possible quality. The 2022 harvest yielded wonderfully ripe grapes with a beautifully acidic edge. Malolactic fermentation took place immediately after racking. At the end of the year, Mormoreto began its maturation in French oak barriques, where it was left for the next 18 months drawing maximum benefit from the natural micro-oxygenation provided by the oak. Several further months of ageing after bottling allowed the Mormoreto to blend, expressing its full elegance and potential.
Organoleptic Notes: Mormoreto 2022 has a magnificent intense and brilliant ruby red colour with beautiful purple reflections. The bouquet is complex, fruity, floral, and spicy, with well-defined tertiary notes. Its fruity side is particularly intriguing with notes reminiscent of blackberry, blackcurrant and cassis, and the spicy side with hints of liquorice and white pepper. It offers extremely pleasant and perfectly integrated balsamic nuances. On the palate, Mormoreto is soft and intense, with velvety tannins. The finish is extremely long, persistent and intense.
