Tasting Notes
COLOR:
Deep garnet with ruby highlights, indicating intensity and maturity.
NOSE:
The nose is layered and intense, with aromas of dark berries such as blackcurrant and blackberry, mingling with plum, dried cherry, and nuances of violet. Complex earthy notes of leather, cedar, and tobacco enhance the bouquet, alongside subtle hints of graphite, spice, and dark chocolate from oak aging.
TASTE:
Full-bodied and opulent, Mormoreto opens with flavors of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and blueberries. This core of dark fruit is complemented by savory notes of leather, espresso, and licorice, along with fine-grained tannins that lend structure and depth. Balanced acidity adds freshness, and the oak aging brings in a silky, well-integrated texture with lingering notes of vanilla, cocoa, and spice.
FINISH:
Exceptionally long, with a sophisticated interplay of fruit, earth, and spice, highlighting the wine's depth and aging potential.
