THE WINE
Moreccio marks the beginning of our family's journey into the world of wine.
It was the first wine we ever produced and still embodies the spirit that inspired us from the start: to tell the story of Bolgheri through authentic wines that reflect the character of the territory and our own way of interpreting it.
It brings together three grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Each contributes to the wine's distinctive identity, combining structure, softness and an inviting aromatic richness.
Spontaneous fermentation and a brief period of ageing in French oak allow this Bolgheri Rosso to develop intensity and balance, bringing together complexity and approachability.
Moreccio is a wine made for sharing, perfect for discovering the world of Casa di Terra and experiencing the character of our red wines.

WINEMAKING AND AGEING
Winemaking
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for approximately 20 days at a controlled temperature of 26–28°C, thanks to the spontaneous activity of indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes.
Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously during ageing.
Ageing
The wine matures for at least 6 months in third- and fourth-use French oak barriques, followed by a further 6 months in the bottle.
Moreccio is bottled without filtration or fining, with the aim of preserving the wine's integrity and natural characteristics.
