Why Cave selected it

Expressive, low-intervention Sangiovese from a high-elevation Suvereto site, farmed biodynamically and made to highlight clarity, freshness and place.

About the wine

 

Produced with spontaneous fermentation using wild yeast in concrete vats for 2-3weeks before ageing for at least 12 months in big oak barrels and a further 6 in bottle. No filtration and with minimum amounts of sulphur added (a miximum of 30 mg/l)

Notes on the producer

The Rosso of the I Mandorli winery is a Tuscan wine based on Sangiovese, with a small addition of Cabernet, which makes of the fruity fragrance and of the territorial typicality its best qualities. Vinified only in cement, it preserves, in fact, the varietal aromas of the grapes and that harmonious Mediterranean touch that characterizes all the wines of the Tuscan Maremma. It is born in the hilly hinterland in the heart of the Val di Cornia, near the Belvedere di Suvereto. The vineyards are cultivated in Biodynamic regime and are located in a natural context of great biodiversity, with a lush Mediterranean scrub. Rosso I Mandorli is the typical expression of the Tuscan Maremma terroir.


About I Mandorli

Azienda I Mandorli is a small family-run estate on the sun-warmed slopes of the Maremma, devoted to Cabernet and other Mediterranean varieties. Run by the Mancini family (three generations now involved), the estate converted to organic farming over a decade ago, focusing on soil health, native cover crops and low-intervention viticulture to encourage balanced, well-ripened fruit. Yields are intentionally kept low by green-harvest and careful canopy work to concentrate flavours. In the cellar they favour traditional, hands-on techniques — parcel vinifications, native yeasts and gentle extraction — and a pragmatic approach to oak: new barrique for structure where needed, plenty of older wood to preserve varietal character. Production is limited and thoughtfully managed, producing wines that marry ripe Tuscan fruit with restrained, savoury tannins — wines that reward patience in the bottle.
