Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, nestled in the heart of Maremma, Tuscany
Welcome to the enchanting world of Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, nestled in the heart of Maremma, Tuscany!
Let me take you on a journey through our vineyard, where centuries of tradition meet modern winemaking excellence, and every sip tells a story of passion and dedication.
Discovering Tenuta Le Mandorlaie
Tenuta Le Mandorlaie is more than just a winery; it’s a celebration of the Tuscan spirit and the vibrant terroir of Maremma. Situated in the southern part of Tuscany, Maremma is renowned for its diverse landscapes, from rolling hills to lush forests and sun-kissed beaches. Our organic estate, with its 70-year-old vines, is a true reflection of this breathtaking region.
The Terroir of Maremma
The magic of Maremma lies in its unique terroir, characterized by a medley of influences from the sea, the sun, and the soil. Our vineyards benefit from the cooling sea breezes that sweep across the Tyrrhenian Sea, imparting freshness and complexity to our grapes. This maritime influence lends a distinctive character to our wines, adding a touch of salinity and enhancing their aromatic profile.
The Dance of Sea Breezes and Vines
Picture this: rows of vines swaying gently in the breeze, soaking up the warm Tuscan sun while being caressed by the cooling sea winds. This dance between nature and nurture creates the perfect conditions for our grapes to thrive. The sea breezes not only regulate temperatures, preventing extreme heat, but also contribute to the development of flavors, ensuring grapes with optimal balance and maturity.
Capricci, A Symphony of Flavor
Now, let’s talk about Capricci, our pride and joy. Crafted from our Sangiovese-focused field blend, this single-vineyard IGT Toscana Rosso is a testament to the character of Maremma. Our 70-year-old vines, rooted in the rich, sandy soils of the region, produce grapes bursting with flavor and personality.
From the moment you pour a glass, you’re greeted by the enticing aroma of ripe berries, mingling with subtle hints of pepper and oak. On the palate, Capricci unfolds like a symphony, with layers of fruity complexity and a velvety texture that dances on your taste buds. The light tannin finish leaves a lingering impression, inviting you to savor every last drop.
Pairing Perfection
Capricci isn’t just a wine; it’s an experience. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely evening at home or hosting a festive gathering, this versatile red is the perfect companion. Pair it with hearty pasta dishes, grilled meats, or a simple plate of bruschetta drizzled with extra virgin olive oil for a taste of Tuscany in every bite.
