Description
The name 'Botrosecco' refers to an old, now dried-up moat on the estate. Le Mortelle was purchased by the Antinori family in 1999 with the ambition to make beautiful and surprising wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Sangiovese. In the wines of Le Mortelle you will find a spicy aroma originating from the typical Tuscan Mortella, a bush with wild black currants that can be found everywhere along the coast. This shrub was the inspiration for the name of the house and you can also find it in the logo of Le Mortelle.
A beautifully balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Scents of balsamic, bitter-sweet berries and a hint of vanilla. The ripe red fruit bursts out of the glass and makes this Botrosecco very pleasant and soft in taste.

More information about Antinori
Marquis Piero Antinori is in charge and is assisted by his three daughters: Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. Funny those three A's. We are not going to bother you with all the awards that have been received over the years, because then this price list can no longer go through the letterbox. There are two red wines that are available on allocation and that one would like to get a few bottles from all over the world and that are Tignanello and Solaia and we also have these in our range at Grandcruwijnen.
In 1180, Ugo and Antinori di Rinuccino were officially named as owners of Castello di Combiate; a century later, the family who had moved to Florence were included in the register of the silk trade cooperative. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero, an indirect descendant, entered the wine guild as an apprentice. Since then, the wine-growing tradition of the Antinori family has been continuous. With the establishment of the Marchesi Antinori winery, the peak was reached in 1895 and already in 1898 the winery was built in San Casciano Val di Pesa, which is still the center of the widely branched group of properties in all major cultivation areas of Tuscany, Umbria. , Piemonte (since the early 90s through the purchase of the wine cellar Prunotto), Apulia and even California. The traditional house participating in the modern Tuscan wine-growing revolution owes much of its prestige to its former chief vinologist Giacomo Tachis, who produced exceptional wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello (especially sangiovese), Solaia (especially cabernet) and many others. the other was responsible. Vinologist Renzo Cotarella also created one of the best chardonnays in Italy in the Umbrian Castello della Sala.
