Descrizione

Botrosecco from Le Mortelle, Maremma Toscana DOC based on Cabernet, offers a rich yet measured profile, resulting from the combination of the variety and the territory. Deep ruby in color with slight violet highlights, on the nose it opens with aromas of ripe red fruit, plum and undergrowth, accompanied by restrained spices and herbaceous hints typical of Cabernet. On the palate it shows a smoothed tannic texture, a balance between freshness and a medium-full body, and a persistent finish that leaves a fruity memory and a slight savory note.

It pairs successfully with grilled red meats, braises and aged cheeses, and also stands up to mushroom dishes and robust ragù. Serve at a moderate temperature, around 16-18 °C, to best express aroma and structure. Thanks to a solid tannic base the wine can be enjoyed now or left to evolve in bottle for some years, according to personal preference. The bottle represents a good balance between immediacy and slower evolution.

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.
