Vivia Le Mortelle 2022

Vivia Fattoria Le Mortelle, comes from the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, just a few kilometres from Castiglione della Pescaia, in an extraordinary and fascinating position both for the nature and the history of the places that surround it. The soil, of medium texture, sandy and loamy, has a predominantly siliceous-clayey composition and is, in certain areas, rich in skeleton. Here Vermentino and Ansonica, typical vines of the Tuscan coastal area, are blended with Viognier, planted after years of patient experimentation, for an elegant white wine that bears witness to the aromas and colours of the Maremma coast.

Vinification
Harvesting began in the first week of September with the Viognier, with grapes characterised by floral fragrances, followed by the Vermentino, distinguished by citrus notes, and ended with the Ansonica, with grapes capable of giving the wine savouriness and finesse. On arrival in the cellar, the grapes were softly pressed and vinified separately, so as to enhance the characteristics of each variety. The must thus obtained was brought to a temperature of 10 °C for about 24 hours in order to favour its natural clarification. It was then transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 16 °C.

Refinement
It then matured for a short period in steel in contact with its own yeasts for about 3 months before being bottled in January 2022.
