Drinker consensus from over 10,000 Vivino ratings, read against Frescobaldi's own release notes for the Nipozzano Cabernet and Petit Verdot.
Mormoreto opens on the dark Cabernet fruit of Castello Nipozzano's 300-metre Nipozzano vineyards. That fruit is blackcurrant, blackberry and cassis. The liquorice and white pepper Frescobaldi names in its 2022 release lift them. The 18 months in French oak barrels fold in vanilla and cedar. Tobacco, leather and smoke sit alongside the fruit. A violet and balsamic edge keeps the aromatics from sitting heavy.

VanillaThis is a Bordeaux blend at heart. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot both give firm structure. The Cabernet Franc and the post-2013 splash of Sangiovese both add lift and elegance. The sandy soils and southwestern exposure at Nipozzano show as ripe but defined black fruit. That black fruit comes with velvety tannins and an acidic edge from the cool breezes of the 2022 growing season. Oak sits as a frame, not a flavour: cocoa and spice rather than sawn timber.
The finish is long, persistent and savoury. It closes on graphite, liquorice and the fine-grained French-oak tannin that lets Mormoreto hold a decade or more in bottle.
This is Frescobaldi's flagship Super Tuscan, a Cabernet-led Toscana IGT from the Nipozzano estate rather than a Chianti. It is priced as a cellar wine, in the £60 to £110 range. Drinkers like it, year after year, and critics have scored recent vintages 92 to 95. Its oak-and-black-fruit polish and its structure for ageing stand out; young bottles need air or time. This is one for collectors and serious red-meat dinners, not a midweek pour.

Six dimensions rating this Nipozzano Cabernet blend for food, value, cellaring and occasion.
Frescobaldi's prestige Super Tuscan flagship from the historic Castello Nipozzano estate, the bottle for a special red-meat dinner or a gift.
A structured, medium-to-firm-tannin Cabernet blend with fresh acidity from 300-metre Nipozzano vineyards: a natural match for grilled and braised red meat.
Eighteen months in French oak barrels, firm Cabernet and Petit Verdot tannin and 14.5% body give Mormoreto a decade-plus ageing window. That holds for strong vintages like 2018 and 2020.
At a £60 to £110 live spread this Super Tuscan sits broadly with its peer flagships. Sound rather than bargain value, with critic scores of 92 to 95 supporting the asking price.
A serious, oak-aged Bordeaux blend that rewards food and cellaring; approachable in flavour but priced and structured beyond a first-time buyer's everyday red.
Cellar-priced at £60-plus and built to age, this is an occasion bottle rather than a midweek pour.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Toscana denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
From the exceptional 2005 to the hot, ripe 2022, vintage shapes how soon each Nipozzano release is ready to drink.
Frescobaldi describes 2022 as a dry, very hot but breeze-cooled season that ripened the fruit fully while keeping an acidic edge. Ruby with purple lights, blackberry, cassis and white pepper, with velvety tannins and a very long finish; give it time.
A strong Tuscan vintage scored in the mid 90s by Wine Spectator and Falstaff for the region. Concentrated yet fresh, this Mormoreto is built for the cellar and rewards several more years in bottle.
A classic, balanced Tuscan vintage rated in the low 90s for the Cabernet-driven coast and Chianti zones. Vivino drinkers place this release among the top 1% of all wines; it has the structure to age well into the 2030s.
A warm vintage with a very hot September; the wines are rich but evolved earlier than cooler years. Drink this Mormoreto on the nearer side rather than holding much longer.
An exceptional central-Italian vintage, often called Tuscany's equivalent of France's 2005. Mormoreto from this year has the depth to still drink well, though it now sits at or just past peak; decant mature bottles.
Frescobaldi describes 2022 as a dry, very hot but breeze-cooled season that ripened the fruit fully while keeping an acidic edge. Ruby with purple lights, blackberry, cassis and white pepper, with velvety tannins and a very long finish; give it time.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Old-established Cabernet plantings at Castello Nipozzano, manual harvest and 18 months in French oak barrique sit behind the bottle price.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Toscana is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Toscana falls within Tuscany, covering Arezzo · Firenze · Grosseto · Livorno · Lucca · Massa Carrara · Pisa · Pistoia · Prato · Siena.

Wine area
Producer: Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi, Firenze. Directions
Frescobaldi has grown these French varieties as a single cru at Nipozzano since 1983, on sandy soils at 300 metres; low-yield estate fruit of this pedigree commands a price well above bulk Tuscan IGT.
The producer hand-picks into small crates and sorts the bunches twice, in the vineyard and again at the cellar; this labour cost lifts the wine above machine-harvested reds.
Frescobaldi ages Mormoreto 18 months in French barriques then several more months in bottle before release, tying up new oak and cellar capacity that feeds directly into the £60-plus price.
Recent vintages carry critic scores of 92 to 95 from James Suckling, Falstaff and Wine Advocate, and a 4.3 Vivino average from 10,000-plus drinkers, supporting its position among prestige Tuscan reds.
UK excise duty on still wine up to 15% ABV is £2.67 per bottle at 2026 rates, and 20% VAT applies on top; together these add several pounds to a £60-plus shelf price before the retailer's margin.
Mormoreto is bottled as the flexible Toscana IGT rather than under a strict DOCG disciplinare, so denomination rules add no extra ageing or release-tasting cost; the price reflects estate and oak choices, not appellation mandates.
Dishes that go with this wine
Firm tannin and dark fruit point to grilled and braised red meat; the food-attribute logic behind each match is set out below.
The firm Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot tannins in Mormoreto need protein and fat to soften them. A rare, salt-crusted cut binds the tannin and lets the wine's blackcurrant and graphite come forward. This is the dish the Nipozzano estate was built around.
Try with: Fiorentina steak · ribeye steak · sirloin steak · More pairings →
Long-cooked Tuscan braises bring gelatine and rich marrow that the wine's acidity, kept fresh by the cool breezes at 300 metres, cuts cleanly. The 18 months in French oak echo the deep, savoury reduction of a brasato or ossobuco.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · More pairings →
Mormoreto's full body and ripe black fruit match the weight of roast or stewed lamb without overwhelming it. The wine's liquorice and white-pepper spice mirror the rosemary and pepper that season a Lucanian lamb ragu.
Try with: Agnello Ragu Lucano · rack of lamb · leg of lamb · More pairings →
A mature Pecorino's salt and crystalline crunch lean on the wine's tannin and dark fruit. The Cabernet Franc's leafy, cedary side answers the cheese's nutty depth, a classic end to a Super Tuscan dinner.
Try with: Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · cheese board · More pairings →
The tobacco, leather and balsamic notes in Mormoreto bridge to the earthy, gamey character of roast pheasant or venison. The wine has the structure to stand up to dark, iron-rich meat.
Try with: Roast Pheasant · Venison Stew · Roast Duck · More pairings →
Mormoreto's 14.5% alcohol and grippy young tannin amplify capsaicin heat, turning spicy dishes harsh and bitter. Sweet-sour and sugary glazes flatten its black fruit and clash with the dry oak frame. Save it for savoury, unspiced plates.
Skip with: Szechuan beef · crispy chilli beef · lamb bhuna · Mongolian beef · Pairing guide →
Built to age a decade or more in strong vintages, with French-oak tannin and 14.5% body carrying the structure.
Peak around 2034. For the main offer above.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Eighteen months in French oak barrels, firm Cabernet and Petit Verdot tannin and 14.5% body give Mormoreto a decade-plus ageing window. That holds for strong vintages like 2018 and 2020.
£45.30 for a 75cl bottle of the 2022, at Vino.com, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · MediumThe drinking years for the main offer apply to its 2022 vintage. Treat them as advice, not a forecast for the bottle in your hand.
Confidence · MediumMormoreto is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, with a small amount of Sangiovese added since the 2013 vintage. Frescobaldi has grown these French varieties at Castello Nipozzano in Chianti Rufina since the line was created as a single-vineyard wine in 1983.
No. Although it is grown at the Castello Nipozzano estate in Chianti Rufina, Mormoreto is a Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend bottled as Toscana IGT. It sits outside the Sangiovese-based Chianti rules. It is one of Tuscany's established Super Tuscans.
Strong vintages will cellar for a decade or more. The firm Cabernet and Petit Verdot tannins, 18 months in French oak barrels and 14.5% alcohol give it the structure to develop. Vintages such as 2018 and 2020 reward several years in bottle before opening.
Grilled and braised red meat. Its tannin and dark fruit suit Fiorentina steak, brasato, ossobuco and roast lamb, and it stands up to game and aged Pecorino. Avoid spicy or sweet-sour dishes, which clash with its alcohol and oak.
Across the vintages stocked here it runs roughly £60 to £110 a bottle, with the most recent releases and the 2020 at the lower end. It is priced as a flagship Super Tuscan rather than an everyday red.
