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.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Strogeel met felgroene tinten, biedt deze Vivia rijp fruit van peer en appel, bloemige tonen van lavendel en kamille en een frisse citrus- en rozemarijnachtige kruidigheid die in de mond knapperig en hartig blijft met een aanhoudende citroenzeste. Die frisse zuren en kruidige, aromatische lengte maken de wijn bijzonder geschikt bij witte vis en schelpdieren omdat ze vetten schoonwassen en de delicate smaken versterken, en bij salades en een terrasmoment omdat de levendigheid en zachte droesemtoets het gerecht een extra verfijnde draai geven. Kies voor bereidingen met lichte kruiden en citrus, denk aan ceviche of citroen-gemarindeerde zalm, gegrilde zeebaars met olijfolie en rozemarijn of een eenvoudige schaalpasta met knoflook, tomaat en peterselie; zulke bereidingen laten Vivia’s fruit en kruidigheid het best schitteren.

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.
