Descrizione

The Botrosecco Maremma Toscana DOC Cabernet from Le Mortelle is a red wine that expresses the characteristic profile of Cabernet in the Maremma Toscana. On the nose it offers notes of dark fruit and subtle vegetal nuances, supported by a present but balanced tannic framework. The structure is solid without being overpowering, finishing cleanly and suggesting a few years of further development in bottle. The overall impression is restrained and elegant, reflecting care in the vineyard and cellar by the producer.

It pairs well with red meats, game and structured cheeses, finding good balance with dishes featuring concentrated sauces. The Magnum bottle presented in a wooden case makes it suitable for convivial occasions or as a cellar gift. A short decanting is recommended to better reveal its aromas and tannic texture; a moderate serving temperature helps preserve freshness and depth.

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.
