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

Tuscany has been producing fine wines for almost three thousand years, and as such is widely recognized as being one of the key Old World wine regions which have shaped the way we understand and enjoy quality wines throughout history. Interestingly, the region is typified by a unique soil type which is not particularly good for growing grapevines, but in Tuscany, the emphasis has always been on quality over quantity, and low yields with high levels of flavor and intensity are preferred, and have become a feature of the region's wine industry. The main grape varietals grown in Tuscany are Sangiovese for the distinctive, flavorful and complex red wines, and Vernaccia for the exquisite dry white wines, although the last couple of decades have seen more varietals grown and an increasing trend towards 'Bordeaux style' wines.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
