Malvasia Nera Red

This is a red wine from the Moretti family, who make wine near Florence, focusing on local varieties. Malvasia Nera is usually said to have a strong animal flavor, but by brewing it with an eye on the harvest season, they were able to create a beautiful flavor. The slight animal flavor fades after a while after pouring it into the glass, making it difficult to drink. It is an organic wine with an elegant finish and a nice acidity.

About the Moretti family

Podere Casaccia (Moretti family)

Organic history: Since 2009

It is located in Scandicci, a small village about 30 minutes by car from Florence in Tuscany. The soil is 80-160m above sea level and is a mixture of 40% clay, 35% loam and 25% gravel. The Moretti family has been part-time farmers for generations, and the current head of the family, Roberto, works as a doctor three days a week and spends the remaining four days working on grapes. His wife Lucia joined in 2005, and at the same time, he became interested in biodynamic farming. After learning that biodynamic farming is deeply related to organic farming, he obtained certification in 2009. He wants to leave a better world for future generations, without further polluting the earth, by eating healthy and delicious food (they are almost self-sufficient in their food). In order to create a special wine with a unique character that no other wine has, he makes wine using only indigenous varieties. In most cases, each variety is vinified separately, and the wines are unfiltered and unclarified. We stopped using sulfur dioxide a few years ago.
