Rated 93 by Decanter
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot from the Mormoreto vineyard is Nipozzano's top wine. Matured for 24 months in French oak barriques, it has a fragrant aroma of leafy dark fruits, spice, tobacco and wood, with a hint of menthol. The palate is intense, juicy yet structured, with mouthwatering acidity lifting up ripe flavours of cassis, blackberry and black cherry. It's spicy on the mid-palate, showing some Franc leafiness alongside some creaminess from the barriques. There's plenty of grip from the fine tannins, and the finish features raspberry, chocolate, blackberry and black cherry, with peppery spice, wood and tobacco.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot, this opens with aromas of black plum, mocha and kitchen spice. The structured palate offers prune, roasted coffee bean and tobacco alongside fine-grained tannins. Enjoy through 2027.

Rated 90 by Wine Spectator
A racy style, driven by its vibrant acidity. Plum, leather, resin and earth flavors abound, while dry tannins and an astringent feel close the deal for now. Finds an equilibrium in the end, but requires patience. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2036. 150 cases imported.
Winery
The Mormoreto is an intense and vibrant ruby-red colour with purple highlights. The bouquet is extremely complex, with fruity, floral, spicy and smoky notes. Rich in fruits, with wild berries predominating: blueberry, blackcurrant and raspberry, alongside hints of morello cherry and cherry, but also sweet fruits such as figs and dates. To finish, pleasant, crisp citrus notes of cedar and bergamot. The final aromas are dominated by notes of lightly toasted dried fruit, cinnamon, black tea and coffee. On the palate it is full-bodied, balanced and persistent. This wine combines particularly soft and silky tannins with an extremely long finish.

Region: Tuscany

All over the stunning region of Tuscany in central Italy, you'll see rolling hills covered in green, healthy grapevines. This region is currently Italy's third largest producer of wines, but interestingly wineries here are generally happy with lower yields holding higher quality grapes, believing that they have a responsibility to uphold the excellent reputation of Tuscany, rather than let it slip into 'quantity over quality' wine-making as it did in the mid twentieth century. The region has a difficult soil type to work with, but the excellent climate and generations of expertise more than make up for this problem. Most commonly, Tuscan vintners grow Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes, although more and more varietals are being planted nowadays in order to produce other high quality wine styles.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
