Le Mortelle Maremma Toscana Cabernet Botrosecco 2024

Le Mortelle Botrosecco 2024 is a polished Maremma Toscana red from the Antinori family, combining Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc for a distinctive expression of the Tuscan coast. Rich yet approachable, it brings together ripe fruit, aromatic freshness and velvety structure, reflecting both the region’s warm Mediterranean influence and Le Mortelle’s modern, sustainable approach to winemaking.

Tasting Notes
The wine has an intense ruby-red colour. Its expressive nose opens with aromas of wild berries, followed by refreshing notes of wild mint and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is generous and harmonious, with a supple texture, well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish marked by fresh fruit and cocoa. Its balanced structure makes it enjoyable in its youth, while careful cellaring over the next few years should allow the fruit, oak and tannins to knit together further.

Production
The vineyards lie in the heart of Tuscany’s Maremma, near Castiglione della Pescaia, on sandy and silty soils with a siliceous-clayey composition. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes are carefully destemmed and gently crushed before being transferred by gravity to the partially underground winery. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by approximately 15 days of maceration to develop colour, flavour and tannin. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in oak barrels and then continues to develop in bottle.

Food & Serving
Botrosecco’s firm yet velvety structure makes it a natural partner for grilled or roasted red meat, braised beef, game and richly flavoured mature cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. It can be opened shortly before serving, although decanting for 30–45 minutes is recommended if enjoying the wine in its youth, as this helps reveal its fruit and aromatic complexity.

Producer
Le Mortelle is an estate of Marchesi Antinori located in Maremma, one of Tuscany’s most dynamic wine regions. Its partially underground winery is built using natural materials and designed to benefit from the thermal regulation provided by the surrounding rock, helping to create stable conditions with limited environmental impact. The estate’s gravity-fed winemaking and careful barrel maturation reflect Antinori’s long-standing commitment to combining innovation, regional character and refined Cabernet-based wines.
