The beautiful Le Mortelle Farm is located in the heart of the lower Maremma, in the province of Grosseto, just ten kilometers from the coast. This estate, purchased by the family Antinori in 1999, covers 270 hectares, 160 of which are devoted to vineyards, planted mainly with cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese.
In recent years, white grape varieties such as vermentino, ansonica and viognier have also been planted. From the blend of cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon comes "Poggio alle Nane," a Bordeaux-cut wine that expresses the generosity of the best wines of the Tuscan Coast. It is an elegant, deep and dynamic red.
Tasting notes: by red color intense. Complex and elegant. Early spicy scents, such as vanilla and sweet paprika, are in full harmony with notes of berries, blackberries and delicate sensations of Mediterranean herbs and lavender. The wine is silky and structured. The finish, harmonious and persistent, has notes of blueberry chocolate and licorice.
Pairing: perfect throughout a meal, it goes well with rich first courses typical of Tuscan cuisine. Try it with a great roast, strictly baked.
