The name of the Cantina Le Mortelle derives from that of the wild myrtle, which characterizes the local flora.
The building was part of an old farm owned by the Habsburg-Lorraine, centered on cattle breeding.
The Antinori family bought the property in 1999, transforming the approximately 160 hectares of land into wine growing and over 15 hectares into organic orchards.
Those who visit the winery must reach the top of a slight hill, from which the whole estate can be seen.
The building was built entirely using natural materials, has a cylindrical hypogeum shape and includes three levels, each dedicated to the various stages of the wine production cycle.
The visit is by appointment but there is also the workshop of the Fattoria Le Mortelle, open all week, where you can find the wines and products of the estate.
