Antinori Le Mortelle Botrosecco, Maremma, Tuscany Italy
Botrosecco is ruby red in color. Its nose is intense, and complex defined by sensations of ripe red fruit, sour cherries and plums, together with spicy notes of paprika and white pepper. On the palate it’s velvety, savory with mouth filling tannins and a persistent finish. The aftertaste brings back fragrant hints of red fruit, tobacco and cocoa.

The Mortelle estate is in the heart of Maremma in Tuscany, near the town of Castiglione della Pescaia set in an extraordinary and fascinating position both for the territory’s unparalleled natural beauty and its historical heritage and culture. The Antinori family has been part of this territory for generations and is one of the most famous, historic and prestigious Italian wine families.
Since 1999, the family has worked both on the vineyards and on new cellars, convinced that this part of Tuscany, already gaining much visibility in the overall Italian viticultural picture, had a very important potential for quality wine. And that here it was possible to express, at a high level, both the characteristics of the terroir and the grape varieties to be cultivated.
