2004 | Castello di Nipozzano | Mormoreto

Mormoreto is an exceptional blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that produces a sensual, silky wine with gorgeous concentration and intense shadings of blueberry, cola, root beer, clove, cherry, chocolate fudge and moist earth. It boasts great complexity and a long, spice-driven finish.

Producer Information

Castello di Nipozzano is a wine estate in Chianti, one of several in Tuscany owned by the major Italian wine producer Marchesi de Frescobaldi. The winery makes Sangiovese from the Chianti Rufina sub-region, but is also known for its early plantings of non-regional varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon for use in IGT wines. The Nipozzano property is characterized by the 11th-Century castle that now houses the winery's cellar and barrel room. The property covers 626 hectares (1547 acres) of land in the mountainous part of Chianti Rufina above the Arno river. It has 240 hectares (590 acres) under vine at elevations between 250 and 400m (820-1300ft) above sea level. Nipozzano is known both for its Chianti DOCG wines and its Toscana IGT wines, many of which are sourced from, and carry, single-vineyard labels. The wines of Nipozzano appear in historical records dating as far back as the Renaissance and include the mention of significant figures – such as the Renaissance artist Donatello – being patrons of the estate. Nipozzano become one of the first wine estates owned by the Frescobaldi family, who planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in the mid-19th Century, at a time when such varieties were foreign to Tuscany.
