Poggio alle Nane presents a deep red color. The nose fascinates for its varietal character, with sensations of ripe blackberry fruit uniting with notes of mountain herbs, black currants, and thyme. Hints of liquorice, balsamic, and floral violets harmonise the picture with sweet spices. The palate is rich and elegant, potent, with lovely and silky tannins and a long and persistent finish. The wine closes with notes of bitter chocolate, wild cherries, and tobacco.

Winery | Located in the Maremma, Tuscany’s rising star of a region, the eye-wateringly beautiful Le Mortelle estate has belonged to the Antinori family since 1999. It is named after the wild myrrh – mortella – found in this part of the Tuscan coast, and indeed, the fostering of local flora and fauna is a central aim of the estate, which includes fifteen hectares of organic orchards in addition to the vineyards. Cabernet Franc has found a home from home in the warm, sea-breeze-tempered climate, bringing wonderful aroma and freshness to the red wine. For the white, classic coastal variety, Vermentino is joined by Viognier and Ansonica (the same as Sicily’s Inzolia), which is making a serious name for itself in the Maremma. |
