Description
The name "Botrosecco" refers to an old, now dried-up moat on the estate. Le Mortelle was purchased in 1999 by the Antinori family with the ambition to produce magnificent and surprising wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese. Le Mortelle wines exude a spicy aroma derived from the typical Tuscan Mortella, a wild blackberry shrub found throughout the coast. This shrub inspired the house's name and is also featured in the Le Mortelle logo.
Le Mortelle Vivia is a true white Tuscan wine from the Antinori family estate, a blend of Vermentino, Viognier, and the indigenous Ansonica grape, better known as Inzolia in Sicily. Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were gently pressed, and each grape variety was fermented separately to highlight its unique characteristics. The must was cooled for 24 hours at a controlled temperature of 10°C (50°F) to promote natural settling of impurities. The cleared must was transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation at 16°C (61°F). Vivia was aged briefly on its lees in stainless steel tanks, for approximately 3-4 months. The wine was then bottle-aged for a few more months.
The Vivia is straw yellow with bright green hues. The nose offers aromas of ripe fruit, particularly pears and apples, in perfect harmony with subtle floral notes of lavender and chamomile. The bouquet is completed by elegant notes of citrus fruit and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is pleasantly savory and crisp with a lingering finish defined by hints of lemon and rosemary. A quintessential Tuscan white wine.
