Caseificio Quadalti
The Quadalti farm was founded in 1929 in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma and is family-run. The company has developed over the years with the purchase of plots of land, cultivating around 200 hectares to date. Crops are based on the cultivation of cereals, fodder and pastureland to feed the sheep. Today, the farm raises a total of 2000 free-stall Sardinian dairy sheep. The sheep are fed an accurate and balanced diet using their own fodder and cereals, thus guaranteeing the production of high quality milk. In 2000, the farm evolved with the addition of a dairy, transforming milk into dairy products and various types of cheeses made from Maremma sheep.

Fattoria Le Pupille
The Le Pupille farm is located in Istia d’Ombrone, a small village on the outskirts of Grosseto;

In 1987 it was the turn of Saffredi, the wine that made the excellence of Maremma known far beyond its borders, soon becoming a true jewel of Italian oenology.
Even today, the company is still expanding, continuing the pursuit of quality in Maremma.

Eenheid prijs PerVivia Bianco DOC Maremma Toscana Le Mortelle
€15,00
Eenheid prijs PerVivia Bianco Maremma Toscana Le Mortelle, Tasting notes:
Vivia 2022 is straw yellow in colour with brilliant greenish highlights. The olfactory impact is intense and characterised by pleasant aromas of ripe fruit, such as pear, apple and pineapple, well in harmony with fine notes of orange blossom and chamomile; elegant citrus and Mediterranean herb sensations reminiscent of sage complete the bouquet. The palate is vibrant and savoury, with a final freshness that persists, showing hints of lemon and rosemary.
Vivia Bianco Maremma Toscana Le Mortelle
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were softly pressed and vinified separately to bring out the characteristics of each variety. The must thus obtained was brought to a temperature of 10 °C for about 24 hours to favour its natural clarification; it was then transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 16 °C. Vivia matured briefly in stainless steel in contact with its yeasts for about 3 months before being bottled in January 2023.
Le Mortelle:
Fattoria Le Mortelle is located in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, just a few kilometres from Castiglione della Pescaia, in an extraordinary and fascinating position both for its nature and for the history of the places that surround it. Since 1999, the family has been working on both the vineyards and the new wine cellar with the conviction that the area, still emerging in the Italian wine scene, is highly suited to the production of quality wines and that the characteristics of the terroir and the varieties cultivated can be best expressed here. The farm extends over 270 hectares, 170 of which are planted with vines. The 170 hectares of vineyards are mainly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, in addition to more recent plantings of white varieties such as Vermentino, Ansonica and Viognier, and a small proportion of Carménère. The soil, of medium texture, sandy and loamy, has a predominantly siliceous-clayey composition and is, in certain areas, rich in skeleton.

Eenheid prijs PerBotroseccoDOC Le Mortelle, Tasting notes:
Botrosecco 2021 has a ruby red colour. The nose is dominated by notes of ripe small red fruits such as currants and sour cherries, in harmony with delicate nuances of white pepper, tobacco and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is pleasant and persistent, with enveloping tannins and an intense finish of fresh fruit and cocoa.
Botrosecco DOC Le Mortelle
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes, carefully selected at harvest, were destemmed and gently crushed and transferred to stainless steel tanks; here alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature of around 25 °C in order to enhance the characteristic varietal aromatic component and maintain greater fruit integrity. During maceration, which lasted about 15 days, appropriate soaking of the pomace cap was carried out to extract only the most valuable tannins. The wine was then transferred to stainless steel tanks, where malolactic fermentation took place and was completed by the end of the year. Botrosecco rested 9 months in barriques before ageing in bottles.

Scalabrone 2022 is light peony pink in color. The nose presents intense notes of red berries especially ripe cherries and pomegranates accompanied by hints of candied citrus fruit. The palate is delightfully fruity, delicate with outstanding freshness and persistence.
Scalabrone Bolgheri DOC Rosato
Each grape variety was harvested and fermented separately. Grapes were destemmed, delicately crushed, and transferred to the press for a short maceration period of about 2-4 hours at a low temperature to intensify the richness of emerging aromatic compounds. After pressing, the must was transferred into stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 16 °C (61 °F). Each individual lot was carefully and systematically evaluated and then blended. Scalabrone was bottled in the month of January 2023.
Guado al Tasso:
Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small but prestigious DOC Bolgheri, in the upper Maremma, about one hundred kilometres south-west of Florence. The estate covers an area planted with vines of about 320 hectares, immersed in a splendid plain surrounded by gentle hills, known as the ‘Amphitheatre of Bolgheri’ for its particular conformation. The noble Della Gherardesca family began practising viticulture in the late 1600s on their land in Bolgheri, but things really began to change under Guido Alberto Della Gherardesca (1780-1854). He was passionate about viticulture. He was appointed majordomo to Grand Duke Leopold II and then devoted himself to oenology on the family estates in Maremma. The vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino; the latter is cultivated with both white and red varieties. The proximity to the sea offers a mild climate, with constant breezes that mitigate the summer heat and alleviate the harsh winter climate. The alluvial soils of the area, varying from sandy-clayey to silty-clayey rich in Bolgheri agglomerate (fine gravel), influence the character and personality of the varieties grown and give them a distinctive territorial identity
