Palazzo Tronconi is dedicated to revitalising ancient Italian vineyards and crafting biodynamic wines from forgotten and rare indigenous grapes. This relatively new and inspiring project is led by Marco Marrocco.
Mócevò (‘now is the time’ in the local Arcese dialect) is an aromatic dry red wine crafted from a blend of Lecinaro and Ulivello Nero grapes. This wine exhibits a light ruby colour that unfolds intense notes of cherries, accompanied by hints of dried plum and a subtle dance of black pepper, chocolate, and vanilla. The palate offers a generous and well-balanced experience, characterised by smooth, rounded tannins that lead to a lingering finish.
The plot for Mócevò is located on the hillside vineyards of Arce, Lazio, on limestone and clay soils. The grapes were hand harvested, selected and brought to the winery for spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels before bottling. This wine is not fined, nor filtered.
