Wine Description
The Story
The Fattoria Le Mortelle is located in the heart of the lower Maremma, approximately 9 km from the own of Castiglione della Pescaia in the province of Grosseto. It extends over a total of 675 acres (270 hectares), close to 400 of which (160 hectares) are planted to vines., prevalently Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, in addition to more recent vineyards with such white grape varieties as Vermentino, Ansonica, and Viognier.
The property was purchased by the Antinori family in 1999 with the conviction that the area, had an important potential for wine of real quality.
The new cellar of the Mortelle estate is underground in order to minimize the impact on the environment. It was built using natural materials, taking advantage of the thermoregulation provided by rocks located deep under the earth’s surface.
The water used in the winery during various processes is routed back into the environment using a natural cycle of phytoremediation, and the energy which has to be acquired only comes from renewable sources of production.
