Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Mormoreto is an intense and vibrant ruby-red colour with purple highlights. The bouquet is extremely complex, ranging from notes of red fruits – like cranberries, raspberries and black cherries – to hints of date and fig, with a delicate citrus finish. The floral aromas of jasmine and dog rose add an interesting dimension. Later, more advanced notes of coffee bean, cocoa powder, tea and tobacco come to the fore. On the palate it is complex, balanced and persistent. This wine combines soft and silky tannins with an extremely long finish.

Professional Ratings

  • 95
    So aromatic and vivid, with crushed raspberries and blackberries. Full-bodied with really fine tannins. It goes on for minutes. A new standard for Mormoreto. Cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, petit verdot and sangiovese. Why wait? Drink or hold.
  • 92
    Delivers an immediately appealing lush texture that envelops flavors of black currant, plum, iron and licorice. Gains support from tightly wound tannins, which leave a chewy feel on the spicy, lingering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2038.

Frescobaldi’s story is strictly connected with the history of Tuscany. At the high point of medieval Florence, the Frescobaldis spread their influence as bankers, becoming patrons of major works in Florence, such as Santa Trinita bridge and the Basilica of Santo Spirito.

Frescobaldi embodies the essence of Tuscany, its extraordinary vocation for viticulture and the diversity of its territories.

Frescobaldi’s uniqueness stems precisely from the representation of Toscana diversity, from its estates and from wines which express a kaleidoscope of aromas and sensations, springing from the characteristics of each individual terroir. The Estates are positioned in prime areas of Tuscany and each tells its own story, made up of nature, terroir and people.

From Tenuta Castiglioni, where the family’s 700 years of wine-growing history began, to CastelGiocondo on the Montalcino hills, to the timeless Castello Nipozzano. From the hidden gem of Castello Pomino, up to Tenuta Ammiraglia’s new horizons overlooking the sea, to Tenuta Perano a natural amphitheater in the heart of Chianti Classico, ending with Remole, that expresses all the character of Tuscany.

Behind every Frescobaldi wine lies the passion of agronomists and oenologists, who know their vineyards and terroirs down to the finest detail. Their art, creating quality wines, requires the iron rule of respect. Respect for tradition, which guide them, even in the midst of innovation or avant-garde solutions. Respect fort Tuscany, the living land, to be cultivated in harmony and serenity. Respect for each individual terroir, borne of a unique combination of soil, altitude and microclimate, each giving us a wine with its own matchless personality.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
