Vivia 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.
