The Botrosecco Maremma Toscana DOC Cabernet from Le Mortelle shows a deep, ruby colour in the glass, bright and concentrated. On the nose it offers aromas of ripe red fruit and the herbaceous notes typical of Cabernet, accompanied by delicate spice accents, a slight graphite touch and a mineral hint. On the palate it is full-bodied, with well-defined tannins supporting a balanced structure; the drinking experience is enveloping, with a savoury, persistent flavour progression in which the fruit remains compact without overpowering the whole.

Perfect with red meat, roasts and medium-aged cheeses, it also works as the centrepiece of a meal where the wine's structure complements savoury dishes. The Jeroboam version, presented in a wooden case, makes it suitable for special occasions, significant gifts or shared storage in a larger bottle; pouring after opening or gentle aeration for prolonged service is recommended, and serving at a controlled temperature will help appreciate its balance and aromatic intensity.
The winery

Le Mortelle – Winery in Toscana (Maremma)

Discover the story and wines of Le Mortelle.

Estate in the Tuscan Maremma owned by Marchesi Antinori, known for a partially underground cellar and wines that express the character of the coastal terroir.
Region: Toscana (Maremma)
Country: Italia
Founded: 1999
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Vermentino, Ansonica, Viognier, Carménère
Estate owned by the Marchesi Antinori, part of the Tenute Antinori portfolio since 1999. A mostly underground winery designed to minimize its impact on the landscape and to operate by gravity. Vineyards planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with white varieties such as Vermentino and Ansonica. Production of labels linked to the Tuscan Maremma.
Winery history
The estate is mentioned in the historical records of the area and became part of Tenute Antinori following the acquisition and works begun in 1999. Since then, the family has worked on renewing the vineyards and constructing a modern, largely underground cellar designed to reduce landscape impact and to take advantage of gravity-flow winemaking.
Production philosophy
Enhance the terroir of the Maremma through targeted viticultural and technological choices: grape selection, gravity-flow winemaking without the use of pumps, and a winery integrated into the landscape that prioritizes energy efficiency and quality control.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, a few kilometres from Castiglione della Pescaia, set within a landscape of Mediterranean scrub. The soils are medium-textured — sandy and silty — with a predominantly siliceous-clay composition and, in some areas, rich in rock fragments.
