Capricci, Oak-Aged IGT Toscana Red Wine

At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we are passionate about producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of our land in Maremma, Tuscany. One of our standout creations is Capricci, an IGT Toscana red wine that combines tradition, craftsmanship, and the timeless essence of the region. This oak-aged, Sangiovese-focused wine is made from our antique vines, nurtured on our estate near the Mediterranean Sea.

A Wine that Represents Maremma

Maremma is a land where the sea breeze and the rolling hills converge, creating a climate and environment that are ideal for growing high-quality grapes. At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we’ve been cultivating this land with deep respect for its natural rhythm, and Capricci is a perfect reflection of that harmony. Every bottle of Capricci carries a piece of Maremma’s soul, from the grapevine roots that stretch into the Tuscan soil to the oak barrels that lend the wine its character.

Our estate is situated near the sea, where the coastal winds play a key role in shaping the flavors of our vines. The combination of mineral-rich soil, warm Tuscan sun, and cool sea breezes creates the ideal conditions for producing exceptional grapes with complexity and depth. Capricci is no exception.

Sangiovese, The Heart of Capricci

At the core of Capricci is the Sangiovese grape, Tuscany’s most iconic variety. Known for its vibrant acidity, red fruit aromas, and distinctive herbal notes, Sangiovese is a grape that captures the essence of the land. Our Sangiovese vines are decades old, some of them up to 70 years, which imparts a depth of character to the wine that can only be achieved through the careful nurturing of ancient vines. These older vines naturally produce lower yields, resulting in more concentrated, aromatic, and structured wine.

Oak-Aging for Complexity and Elegance

What truly sets Capricci apart is its oak aging process. After the grapes are handpicked and fermented, the wine is aged in oak barrels, a technique that imparts a subtle yet important influence on the wine’s flavor profile. Oak aging adds richness, smooth tannins, and a complex layer of flavors, which combine beautifully with the natural acidity and fruit-forward character of the Sangiovese grape.

The oak barrels we use are carefully selected to ensure that they enhance the wine’s natural qualities without overpowering them. Over the months spent aging, Capricci develops notes of dark cherries, spices, and hints of vanilla, creating a wine with great complexity and a smooth finish that lingers on the palate.
