Product description
Le Mortelle Poggio Alle Nane originates from the Maremma Toscana DOC in Italy. The Le Mortelle estate, acquired by the Antinori family in 1999, is situated near Castiglione della Pescaia in a region the family believes is highly suited for producing premium wines. This innovative winery focuses on expressing the unique coastal terroir through a philosophy that balances modern winemaking with the preservation of the local flora and fauna.
Wine Description
This wine presents a deep ruby red colour with vibrant purple reflections. The nose is intense and complex, offering a cascade of blackcurrant, blackberry, and red plum, layered with spicy balsamic notes of tobacco, eucalyptus, and vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, featuring a dense yet elegant tannic structure with a refreshing lift provided by its Cabernet Franc component. The finish is long and persistent, marked by sophisticated nuances of cocoa, liquorice, and myrtle.
