- Ampio delle Mortelle is dark ruby red. The nose expresses its captivating character with spicy notes of black pepper and licorice accompanied by pleasant aromas of small dark mixed berries, especially currants and blueberries. Its bouquet is completed by delicate hints of aromatic herbs, violet blossoms, and subtle sensations of cloves, tobacco, and chocolate. Its enticing palate is elegant with mouth-filling tannins. A lengthy finish has depth with light sensations of bitter chocolate and sour black cherries.
Ampio delle Mortelle is crafted from the best vineyards on the Le Mortelle estate. Grapes are harvested into small crates and brought to the cellar where they are carefully selected by hand. Using the technique of gravity flow, only the finest berries reach special truncated-cone tanks: a winemaking process that preserves the purity and freshness of the grapes. The tanks’ particular shape and our unique punching-down method guarantee a winemaking process that is delicate yet decisive enhancing the aromas, tannin balance and individual characteristics of each grape variety. The different lots, separated by grape variety, were transferred to new French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation took place and were then aged for approximately 18 months. Ampio delle Mortelle was blended and aged for an additional period of 12 months in the bottle before being released for sale.
