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.
