The wine is then left for a further 15 days in contact with the skins before being racked and immediately returned to 225-liter oak barrels (80% new), where malolactic fermentation takes place. The aging of the wine in wood barrels lasts about one year. The wine is then bottled and left to refine for another 6 months before being sold to the public

Three hundred years ago, the Moris family left Spain and settled in the Tuscan Maremma. A fresh and genuine love for a still virgin land, barely touched by the cumbersome presence of man, but rich in extraordinary natural resources whose value is enhanced by loving hands. This love is also and especially for the wine produced in this idyllic countryside, which has always been a splendid passion for the Moris family. The history of the farm is enclosed in this deep and wise simplicity that refers to times past, fruits grown with care and dedication by people who love what they have chosen to do: a simple story enshrined in each bottle that Morisfarms offers you.

What we mean by organic and biodynamic viticulture
Organic fertilizers are used
as compost, manure and
other natural materials to enrich the soil and provide the nutrients necessary for the growth of vines.
Techniques are implemented to prevent soil erosion, such as planting vegetative covers between the rows of vines and applying minimal or no tillage practices.
During the winemaking process, chemical additives are avoided and the handling of the wine is minimized. The use of natural yeasts and the reduction of sulfites are encouraged.
The moon in relation to the earth and its sidereal cycles, the biodynamic agricultural calendar helps the farmer know the right time to prune, fertilize and harvest.
No herbicides are used and the vegetation is allowed to grow freely between the rows of the vines.
Natural fertilizers are made with animal excrement that is introduced into cow horns and buried to later dynamize them in water and apply it to the vineyard.
