Production of the Mormoreto of Castello di Nipozzano

This red wine from the Frescobaldi family of Castello di Nipozzano is named after the Mormoreto vineyard of the same name, which was rebuilt in 1976 and since 1983 has produced this award-winning, opulent and long-lasting wine, which only sees the light of day in the best vintages.
After manual harvesting, the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varieties are fermented separately for 35 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, macerated and left on the skins for another 20 days. Alcoholic fermentation is immediately followed by malolactic fermentation. The cuvée is then aged for 24 months in partly new barriques, partly used for the second time, and then aged for a further 6 months in the bottle.
