Description
In a nutshell:
This bold Tuscan red is bursting with sun-ripened cherry and plum, yet surprisingly supple on the palate.
The lowdown:
From one of coastal Tuscanys most admired vineyards, this interesting blend of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon - rather than the regions ubiquitous Sangiovese - offers a delightful departure. Aged for 16 months in French oak, it entices with an aromatic nose of spice and balsamic, hinting at cloves, coffee and a touch of liquorice. On the palate, ripe dark fruits take centre stage, delivering a rich, mouth-filling experience supported by vibrant tannins. The finish is lingering and complex, echoing notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. This is a restrained and elegant wine, one that fully lives up to its prestigious reputation.
The Producer:
Le Mortelle, is a star of the Tuscan coast and a testament to the Antinori family's vision. Acquired in 1999, this prestigious estate has quickly gained recognition for its bold departure from traditional Tuscan varieties. The Antinoris, renowned for their winemaking prowess, recognized the unique terroir of this coastal region, with its sandy loam soils and maritime influence, as ideal for Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This unorthodox approach has yielded exceptional wines, characterized by elegance, complexity, and a distinct expression of their coastal origins. Le Mortelle is a fascinating example of innovation and a commitment to quality, redefining the boundaries of Tuscan winemaking.
When to drink:
Delicious now but with years ahead of it, this one's crying out for rich recipes like roast haunch of venison or a big bowl of wild boar ragu.
