Cabernet Maremma Toscana Rosso IGT Botrosecco 2023 – Le Mortelle

A Tuscan red wine produced by Le Mortelle, the Antinori family estate in the heart of the Maremma area. Botrosecco 2023 belongs to the DOC Maremma Toscana denomination and is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, with an alcohol content of around 14% vol.

Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, with alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature of approximately 25 °C and skin maceration for about 15 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in barriques for 9 months, followed by additional bottle ageing.

In the glass, it shows a ruby red color. On the nose, it offers aromas of red fruit, including sour cherry and currant, alongside hints of eucalyptus, Mediterranean herbs, tobacco, white pepper, and cocoa. On the palate, it is full and savory, with soft tannins and a long, pleasant finish marked by fresh fruit and spice notes.

Excellent with red meats, roasts, game, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.

Recommended serving temperature: 18–20 °C.
