Tuscany Red Wine Direct from the Vineyard

Capricci, Tuscany Red Wine Direct from the Vineyard

If you’re searching for Tuscany red wine direct from the vineyard, your journey leads to Capricci—our limited-edition, oak-aged, single vineyard masterpiece.

Born from over 70-year-old Sangiovese vines, nurtured without synthetic fertilizers or chemicals, and matured with the care and rhythm of the seasons, Capricci is more than a wine. It’s a reflection of our land, our philosophy, and the harmony of nature that surrounds us at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, in the heart of Maremma, Tuscany.

In our article, we’ll take you deep into the story, vineyard, and philosophy behind Capricci, and show you why buying Tuscany red wine direct from the vineyard is one of the most authentic and rewarding wine experiences.

A Wine Rooted in History, 70-Year-Old Vines, Still Thriving

The story of Capricci begins with our historic vineyard, where Sangiovese vines planted more than seven decades ago still thrive. These vines, shaped by decades of sun, wind, and soil, produce fruit with extraordinary complexity, depth, and character.

Unlike young vines, which often produce fruit with bold but simple flavors, these mature vines have a natural balance that comes only with age. Their roots reach deep into the mineral-rich Tuscan soil, absorbing the subtleties of the terroir. The result? A Sangiovese wine with nuance, soul, and unmistakable identity.

The Vineyard, An Ecosystem of Life and Balance

Capricci’s birthplace isn’t just a vineyard—it’s an ecosystem.

Our vines grow in perfect harmony with olive trees, fruit trees, wildflowers, and oak trees. This biodiverse environment, surrounded by nature’s guardians, brings a unique vitality to the vineyard. The oak trees lend shade and support insect biodiversity. The fruit and olive trees attract pollinators and beneficial species that contribute to natural pest management.

We believe a healthy vineyard is not a monoculture. It’s a living, breathing system, and our viticulture practices are designed to support that balance.

Organic Farming, Nourishing the Soil, Not Just the Vines

At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we farm organically—not because it’s trendy, but because it’s right.

We avoid all synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. Instead, we cultivate nitrogen-fixing cover crops—clovers, wildflowers, and grasses that are sown in the autumn and flourish through to late spring. As they grow, these plants naturally capture nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil, which in turn supports healthy vine growth.

When these cover crops die back, they return nutrients to the earth, creating a natural, closed-loop system that feeds the vines without artificial intervention. The soil is more than a medium—it’s a living community, and we treat it that way.

Capricci, Limited Production, Infinite Character

Capricci is not mass-produced. Each bottle is a limited batch, reflecting the care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail we pour into every vintage.

We select only the best fruit from our vineyard—hand-harvested, carefully sorted, and fermented using traditional methods. The wine then matures in oak barrels, where it gains structure, complexity, and depth without overpowering the delicate character of the Sangiovese grape.

The result is a full-bodied red wine with balanced acidity, soft tannins, and notes of cherry, plum, tobacco, spice, and earth—a wine that speaks clearly of its origin and age.
