Crafted from a careful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, it is distinguished by gravity-flow vinification and subsequent ageing in barrels. The bouquet opens with notes of Mediterranean scrub, blackberry, and balsamic hints of mint and eucalyptus, while the palate is savoury and enveloping, guided by velvety tannins. The balanced texture and persistent finish with hints of cocoa make it ideal for pairing with meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in the Maremma region of Tuscany, a short distance from Castiglione della Pescaia. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003esandy and silty soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of siliceous-clay origin, a composition that gives the wine definition and smoothness. The significant temperature fluctuations favour the aromatic integrity of the grapes and optimal phenolic maturation. The winery, designed with natural materials and integrated into the subsoil, exploits the \u003cstrong\u003enatural thermoregulation of the rocks\u003c\/strong\u003e. This stable environment is ideal for guiding the correct \u003cstrong\u003eevolution of the wine\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a careful harvest, the bunches are destemmed and softly pressed. The process follows \u003cstrong\u003egravity-flow vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e, transferring the must by gravity to the underground cellars to preserve the integrity of the raw material. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, with approximately fifteen days of maceration for the extraction of noble components. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine undergoes twelve months of \u003cstrong\u003eageing in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a period of rest in the bottle which defines its \u003cstrong\u003estructured and persistent profile\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and trivia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn on the Le Mortelle estate of the Antinori family, in Maremma, Botrosecco combines excellence and sustainability. The winery, which is partially underground, harnesses the natural thermoregulation of the rocks to reduce its environmental impact. Thanks to careful \u003cstrong\u003egravity-flow vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc grapes are gently transferred by gravity, preserving their aromatic integrity. Twelve months of ageing in \u003cstrong\u003ebarriques\u003c\/strong\u003e gives this elegant red enveloping aromas and \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e, before final ageing in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Le Mortelle (Antinori)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47771594031275,"sku":"62569","price":22.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/le-mortelle-maremma-toscana-cabernet-botrosecco-2024_62569_1_c941e27c-516d-4abb-9cbb-ae8700a53535.webp?v=1789384348","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/le-mortelle-maremma-toscana-cabernet-botrosecco-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
