Castello Di Nipozzano - Mormoreto Toscana 2009 6x 75cl Bottles

Product Description

This is the great wine of the Castello
- from the vineyard of the same name planted in 1976. The first vintage was from the 1983 harvest, & since then has been produced only in the most favourable years. It was not produced from the harvests of 1986, 1987, 1989, 1992, 1998 or 2002. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, & Petit Verdot, planted 150 years ago, have, over time, formed an intimate bond with this terroir & now bring out all of its unique qualities. It is a wine of great depth, opulent & refined, that you can cellar for many years. Mormoreto 2009 is an intense violet red with violet undertones. The nose opens with hints of iodine, black currants & cherry jam, interwoven with complex spices like vanilla, cinnamon & juniper joined by notes of almond. Mild sensations of eucalyptus then dried rose. Important tannins but silken. At the finish Mormoreto is balanced, intense long & persistent. Terrific partner with any long-cooked meat dish, such as marinades, pot roasts, & stews. Delicious with aged cheeses.
