Description

A blend of the best Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from Le Mortelle’s finest vineyards. Ampio started as an idea and became a reality in an exceptional vintage that reflects and represents the fullest expression of Maremma’s terroir.

Ampio delle Mortelle is dark ruby red in colour. The nose expresses its captivating character with spicy notes of black pepper and liquorice accompanied by pleasant aromas of small dark mixed berries, especially currants and blueberries. Delicate hints of aromatic herbs, violet blossoms and subtle sensations of cloves, tobacco, and chocolate complete its bouquet. Its enticing palate is elegant with mouth-filling tannins. A lengthy finish has depth with light sensations of bitter chocolate and sour black cherries.

Tuscany

Tuscany, one of Italy's most renowned wine regions, is celebrated for its exceptional and diverse wines. Known for its picturesque landscapes and ideal climate, it benefits from a range of terroirs, from rolling hills to coastal areas. The area is particularly famous for its red wines, notably Chianti, made primarily from Sangiovese grapes, which offer bright acidity, cherry flavours, and earthy undertones. It also produces prestigious wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, a full-bodied red with complex flavours and excellent ageing potential, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. For whites, Vernaccia di San Gimignano is noted for its crisp, refreshing character. Tuscany blends traditional winemaking with innovative techniques, offering a rich and varied wine experience.
