ILatium Morini, Valpolicella, DOC, Veneto, Italy, 2024

Producer Profile

The seven brothers and cousins involved in ILatium Morini changed their approach in 2004, when they decided to keep the best grapes from their vineyards to make wine themselves.

Since then, a torrent of accolades, including glowing reviews from Jancis Robinson, would suggest that they made the right decision. Now at the forefront of the ‘new wave’ of Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone production, their wines combine beautiful fruit concentration with fresh, bright acidity.

Viticulture

The grapes are picked during from the third week of September to the first ten days of October into 400 - 500kg bins.

Winemaking

The grapes are destemmed and then pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for 10/15 days, with pumping over and delestage. Refinement takes place in stainless steel vats.

Tasting Note

Lovely ruby colour with a powerful and aromatic nose of cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruits. Soft warm and dry in the mouth with elegant and harmonious tannin.
