Today, you will have the opportunity to explore the fascinating country roads that lead to some of the most prestigious wine estates in Tuscany – Le Mortelle by Marchesi Antinori, situated on a soft hill just off Castiglione della Pescaia, in the heart of Maremma region.
Le Mortelle: Antinori Wine Estate
Mortelle estate is in the heart of Maremma in Tuscany, near the town of Castiglione della Pescaia set in an extraordinary and fascinating position both for the territory’s unparalleled natural beauty and its historical heritage and culture. Since 1999, when the property was acquired, the family has dedicated their efforts to improving the vineyards and building the new winery with the firm belief that this area, slowly emerging on the Italian viticultural horizon, has great potential to produce high-quality wines. Varieties grown in this area can fully express their own characteristics as well as the exceptional qualities of the terroir. The property extends over an area of 270 hectares (667 acres) 170 of which (420 acres) are planted with vineyards. This contemporary building is perfectly in tune with the nature around, as it blends in the curve of the hills around. The tour of the vineyards includes an optional walk to the vineyards. After the outdoor introduction, a guided tour of the cellar will take place and a tasting including Le Mortelle red wines Botrosecco and the cru Poggio alle Nane, paired with some Tuscan dishes.
A comfortable drive will lead you back to the pier after this immersive wine experience!
