✨ Technical Specifications
Born from the historic Castello di Nipozzano estate, whose name translates to 'without a well' as a testament to its dry, free-draining stony soils, Mormoreto is the crown jewel of the Frescobaldi family's Chianti Rufina property. First released in 1983, this iconic Super Tuscan is sourced from a single, elevated vineyard planted on galestro and alberese soils, where cool Apennine breezes temper the Tuscan sun. The wine is a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, representing a marriage of Bordeaux varieties with Tuscan terroir. Aged for approximately two years in French oak barriques, Mormoreto is celebrated for its deep complexity, offering rich layers of dark blackberry, black currant, balsamic herbs, and refined, velvety tannins that speak to the Frescobaldi family's 700-year winemaking legacy.
