About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Vivia comes from Fattoria Le Mortelle, a few kilometres from Castiglione della Pescaia in the Tuscan Maremma. The estate’s medium-textured, sandy and silty soils are predominantly siliceous-clayey and locally contain abundant stones. Vermentino and Ansonica, both associated with the Tuscan coast, are joined by Viognier, introduced after extensive trials.
Grapes
Vermentino, Ansonica and Viognier. Blend percentages are not specified.
Vinification
For the 2025 vintage, Viognier was harvested during the first ten days of September, followed by Vermentino; the Ansonica harvest concluded in the second half of the month. The grapes were softly pressed on arrival and each variety was vinified separately. The must was cooled to 10 °C for approximately 24 hours to clarify naturally, then fermented in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled 16 °C.
Ageing
The wine remained in stainless steel on its lees for approximately three months and was bottled in January 2026.
Tasting profile
The 2025 is pale straw yellow with light green highlights. White peach, yellow apple and grapefruit are joined by delicate floral nuances and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is balanced and flowing, with good freshness and savoury character. The persistent finish combines citrus with a light note of fresh almond.
Vintage notes
A mild winter was followed by a cool spring with well-distributed rainfall through May 2025. Budbreak was even, while flowering and fruit set progressed regularly through cool, sunny periods punctuated by occasional intense rain. A warm, dry summer without prolonged extremes encouraged gradual ripening; marked day-to-night temperature variation helped preserve aroma and freshness.
Label / history
Antinori’s association with this area predates the modern estate: an 1863 property record mentions Poggio Franco and other parcels among the family holdings. Development of the vineyards and new winery began in 1999.
