It is a beautiful, brilliant straw-yellow colour in appearance with a particularly fine and persistent perlage. The very thin string of bubbles are pleasing to the palate, creating that pleasant sensation we call creaminess. The bouquet is very complex and is initially dominated by notes of cedar and bergamot, while hints of passion fruit blend with floral notes of iris, acacia and orange blossom. The following aromas are characterised by obvious scents of wildflower honey and candied citrus fruits and the finish explodes with hints of pastry and bread crust. In the mouth it is clean, fresh and minerally, and the final taste is very persistent.

This is the great wine of the Castello Nipozzano, from the vineyard Mormoreto planted in 1976. The first vintage was from the 1983 harvest, and since then has been produced only in the most favourable years. It was not produced from the harvests of 1984, 1987, 1989, 1992, 1998 or 2002. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot have, over time, formed an intimate bond with this terroir and now bring out all of its unique qualities. It is a wine of great depth, opulent and refined, that you can cellar for many years.

A deep ruby announces Mormoreto, almost opaque in its concentration. The nose is ultra-complex, delivering inebriating draughts of wild blackberry, raspberry, redcurrant, dried plum, dates, and wild red berry fruit, delicately lifted by floral impressions of sweetbriar and violets. Gradually emerging to deepen the rich bouquet even further are spicier nuances of vanilla, cocoa powder, tobacco leaf, and roast espresso bean, which act as a delicious foil to pungent notes of balsam and chlorophyll. A crisp, nervy acidity complements a suite of silky tannins, and both contribute to a palate that is notable for its warmth and roundedness. A finely-balanced, leisurely progression culminates in a lengthy, subtly-aromatic finish.
