2021 Botrosecco, Le Mortelle

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Cabernet Franc & a dash of Petit Verdot, the Botrosecco vineyard is located in the heart of the Maremma region.  Warm weather, sea breezes & volcanic soils make this an ideal terroir for "Super-Tuscan" international grapes to thrive and gain complexity. 12 months' ageing in oak keep this accessible.

"The 2021 Maremma Toscana Cabernet Botrosecco (with both Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc) shows ripe cherry fruit and a hint of candied caramel over a mouthfeel that carries a lot of fruit weight, but it ultimately carries that well. The wine is expertly made, and you get an easy interpretation with soft, rich fruit from one of the hottest areas of coastal Tuscany. This is a no-brainer best buy.  Drink 2023-2027."  Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
