2017 Marchesi Frescobaldi Castello di Nipozzano Mormoreto

Mormoreto 2017 is warm, enveloping and enigmatic, like the season that produced it. It boasts an intense yet clear ruby-red colour that is beautifully rich and concentrated. It is pleasantly fresh with a bouquet that hints of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.

On the palate, balsamic and minty notes balance out beautifully with hints of bergamot and jasmine. Spicy notes of clove and vanilla are just around the corner.

Tertiary aromas of tobacco, cocoa powder and coffee bean are remarkably well-integrated.

The taste is smooth yet wonderfully fresh, with silky, well-rounded tannins.

The finish is long and persistent.

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 beans and tobacco alongside fine-grained tannins.
