Le Mortelle Vivia Maremma Toscana DOC 0,75 ℓ

The Maremma Toscana Bianco Vivia dei Marchesi Antinori was born in the vineyards of Fattoria Le Mortelle, located in the heart of the lower Maremma, in Tuscany. It is produced with Vermentino, Viogner and Ansonica grapes, harvested at full aromatic maturity and selected by hand. A small part of the Viogner and Ansonica grapes was harvested late, to bring warmer and more mature notes. The grapes, once they reached the cellar, were immediately mashed. After a soft pressing and a light maceration, the grapes were brought to a temperature of 10 ° C for about 24 hours in order to reach natural settling. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 ° C. Subsequently the refinement took place first in steel in contact with the yeasts for a short period of about 3 months after which the wine is aged for another 3 months in bottle. It is characterized by a light yellow color. The nose opens with an elegant and sweet fruity bouquet, with hints of ripe peach, cedar peel and candied fruit. On the palate it is soft, mineral and pleasantly sapid. This wine has a fresh acidity, with sensations reminiscent of aromatic herbs such as thyme and sage. The finish is long and rightly persistent. Perfect to combine with vegetarian first courses, it is ideal to serve with fresh cheeses and white meats.
