THE WINE
Moreccino was created to offer a younger, more contemporary interpretation of the Moreccio family of wines.
It retains the character and identity of our red wines while expressing them in a more direct and approachable style.
The combination of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc creates a balanced red wine, where aromatic richness is complemented by a pleasant softness.
Spontaneous fermentation and ageing in French oak enhance the fruit and round out the wine's structure, while preserving its freshness.
Moreccino is made for those looking for an authentic, versatile wine that can accompany everyday meals and turn even the simplest moment into something special.

WINEMAKING AND AGEING
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26–28°C for approximately 20 days.
The process occurs spontaneously thanks to the indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes, while malolactic fermentation is completed naturally during ageing.
Ageing
The wine matures in third- and fourth-use French oak barriques, which help soften and round out its structure.
This is followed by 6 months of bottle ageing, allowing the wine to achieve greater balance.
