Frescobaldi
The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of Italy's oldest wineries with a history dating to the 1300s. The family has included medieval knights bankers lawyers and patrons of the arts. The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of the most significant wine producers in Italy with nine estates—and roughly 2 500 acres—in Tuscany. The family has been growing wine since the late 19th century when they became the first in Tuscany to import and plant French vine cuttings. Because they have been producing wines for more than 700 years to experience Frescobaldi is to glimpse the history of Florence from the Middle Ages to the present day. Wine Spectator has ranked many of their offerings in the 90s and their wines are consistently listed in the magazine's Top 100 Wines of the Year encouraging wine enthusiasts from around the globe to become familiar with some of Italy's finest wines.
Description
Mormoreto appears an opaque, deep ruby red. A rich, complex nose boasts well-ripened wild berries, such as blackberry and raspberry, baker’s cocoa powder and cocoa butter, roasted espresso bean, subtle notes of vanilla and cinnamon, and hints of clove, jasmine, and grey tea leaves. On the palate, it is smooth and well-rounded, echoing the aromas encountered on the nose but with a more pronounced influence of bitter chocolate, crisp raspberry, single-malt whisky, and vanilla tobacco.
Food Pairing
Terrific partner with any long-cooked meat dish, such as marinades, pot roasts, and stews. Delicious with aged cheeses.
