Antinori Le Mortelle 'Vivia' Maremma Bianco 2024
Introduction
This white wine is from Italy, specifically the Maremma region on the Tuscan coast. It is produced by Tenuta Le Mortelle, an estate owned by the esteemed Antinori family. The Antinori family has been involved in winemaking for over six centuries, since 1385. Le Mortelle is a commitment by the Antinori family to invest in Maremma's potential, focusing on organic farming and the area's suitability for international and native grape varieties. The estate is named after the wild myrtle (or mortella) bushes that grow in the area.
'Vivia' is the estate’s signature white wine, reflecting the freshness and elegance of the Tuscan coast. The estate's name, 'Vivia,' means 'lively' or 'vivid'.
Wine Description
'Vivia' is a blend of Viognier, Vermentino, and Ansonica. The wine exhibits a bright, straw-yellow colour with greenish reflections.
The aroma is intense and elegant, opening with notes of white fruit, such as pear and white peach, combined with subtle citrus and floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom. Due to the blend composition, you may also find tropical notes of pineapple and banana.
On the palate, it is crisp, refreshing, and full of flavour. The body is balanced and soft, showing a fine structure. Flavours include yellow stone fruit, minerality, and a touch of the characteristic salinity from the proximity to the sea. The Viognier component provides a rich texture, while the Vermentino offers freshness and a pleasant bitterness. The finish is long and persistent, marked by its freshness and a clean mineral closure. Grapes are harvested by hand, and the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a short period of maturation on the fine lees. The optimal drinking window is over the next 2–3 years. This wine offers complexity balanced by vibrant freshness.
