2013 Vernaccia Di San Gimignano Mormoraia

Grapes Vernaccia
Colour White
Origin Italy, Tuscany
Sub-district Vernaccia Di San Gimignano
ABV 13.50%

Pale gold, a slightly honeyed nose of fresh white flowers and quite a full feel - a leesy richness with great purity - retaining a nice freshness with a pleasant touch of bitterness on the finish. A selection of the very best plots on the property. L&S (Dec 2015)

Showing all the charm and distinctive character of Tuscany's best-known white appellation, this has a nutty, almondy richness off-set by green herb/green apple freshness. Made from Mormoraia's best parcels. Rating: 88 The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com (Apr 2016)

I really enjoyed the 2013 Vernaccia di San Gimignano Ostrea. This is a full throttle expression of Vernaccia that never holds back in terms of intensity or purity. There's loads of depth here with sweet fruit, honeydew melon, Golden Delicious apple, crushed almond paste and green herbs. Pretty finishing notes of smoke and ash give the wine an added layer of complexity. Drinking range: 2015 - 2019 Rating: 91 Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate (www.robertparker.com) (Oct 2015)

Mormoraia

Alessandro Passoni is the second generation here to run this beautiful estate since his father bought the old convent back in 1980 and started to regenerate the vineyards. The name comes from the property's religious history as a convent, with the murmur of the nuns as they recited their prayers that once emanated from the walls like a 'Mormoraia'.

Pino Passoni and his wife Franca passed over the reins to their children in 2012 and the farm has been worked organically since 2013. This is an estate on the move with energy and ever better practices in the vineyards and clever gentle work in the cellar. The results are great and these wines get better and better!
