Nestled between the Argentario coast and Tuscany’s rolling countryside, a new partnership between Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort and Le Mortelle by Antinori celebrates the flavours, wines and hospitality of the Maremma in an immersive fine dining experience.

The Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort has linked up with Le Mortelle, an estate owned by the Antinori family, to create a gastronomic journey of fine dining and wine through the heart of Maremma, the relatively undiscovered region of southwest Tuscany.

The new partnership is rooted in the local landscape, between the silver Argentario coast and the rolling Tuscan countryside, weaving together local cuisine, expert winemaking and warm hospitality to offer an authentic and fresh perspective on this corner of Tuscany. It brings together two established properties that share a mutual devotion to the local terroir and a pursuit of excellence.

At Argentario’s award-winning fine dining restaurant, the Dama Dama, Executive Chef Emiliano Lombardelli has worked to bring this collaboration to life with his unique culinary approach that is created using seasonal ingredients and a precise balance of culinary skill and personal intuition.

The result is an experience defined by ‘subtraction’ that strips away the unnecessary to let the true identity and full flavour of the ingredients shine.

The Dama Dama Restaurant, the gastronomic soul of the Resort, recently unveiled a stunning new redesign by Milan-based interior designer Andrea Fogli. Charcoal-grey walls and floors, tactile materials, bronze sculptures, and dramatic lighting create a space that is sophisticated, warm and welcoming with every detail designed to complement the cuisine.

The restaurant will also soon unveil a Winery Room that will act as an exclusive space for private tastings and dinners surrounded by the cellar’s finest labels, where the wine takes centre stage.

Here a curated selection of Antinori estate labels will accompany the tasting menu, matching its rhythm and highlighting its nuances across different wine regions and appellations, to take diners on a journey through some of Italy’s most prestigious wine-growing areas.

Le Mortelle, the Antinori’s estate in the heart of the lower Maremma near Castiglione della Pescaia, is nestled in a landscape overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. It was specially established here following the conviction that this area, whilst still emerging on the national stage, is exceptionally suited for high-quality wines.

The work in the vineyards and the cellar is meticulous, designed to translate the unique character of the land to the glass. The multi-level winery uses gravity-flow vinification reflecting a philosophy that marries technical research with environmental respect. Visitors can explore this identity through the estate’s signature labels: the white Vivia and the reds Botrosecco and Poggio alle Nane, each an authentic expression of the Maremma soil.

“We are delighted by this collaboration with Marchesi Antinori, a name that represents a definitive benchmark in Italian wine culture,” says Augusto Orsini, Founder of Argentario Golf & Wellness Resort. “For us, this adds a vital chapter to our story of the Maremma; one told through sensitivity, identity, and quality, capturing the richness of our region with a contemporary eye.”

Allegra Antinori, Vice President of Marchesi Antinori, adds: “This partnership stems from a shared vision of how to talk about our land. To us, wine is the expression of a tradition made of deep roots and constant evolution and Le Mortelle embodies that balance perfectly. Collaborations like this allow us to share a history of places, people, and time, creating a bond that lingers long after the final sip.”
