Italian cuisine is a symphony of flavors—fresh herbs, sun-kissed vegetables, handmade pastas, rich sauces, and artisan cheeses. But no Italian dinner night is complete without a bottle of perfectly paired wine. A great wine not only complements the food, it elevates the entire dining experience.
Choosing the right wine for an Italian dinner night is about more than just red or white. It’s about regional harmony, acidity, body, and personality. And if you’re seeking a wine that captures the soul of Tuscany and marries beautifully with Italian food, Capricci is your answer.
Introducing Capricci, The Essence of Maremma in a Bottle
Capricciis a limited-production, IGT Toscana red wine crafted from 70-year-old Sangiovese vines at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie in Scansano, Maremma, Tuscany. Aged in French oak and grown organically, it’s an expressive wine offering depth, character, and true terroir.
Type: IGT Toscana Rosso
Grape: 90% Sangiovese
Alcohol: 14.5%
Production: Limited, single vineyard
Farming: Certified organic (from vintage 2025, previous vintages were organic in conversion)
Aging: 2 years total, steel 18 months, 6 months old and new French oak barrels
This makes Capricci an outstanding red wine for pasta night, lasagna, or any dish with depth and umami.

Why Capricci Stands Out from Other Italian Red Wines
1. True Terroir from Maremma
Capricci is born from sun-drenched hills and coastal breezes in Maremma, Tuscany—an unspoiled land where wild herbs and oak forests infuse the vineyard air. The result? A wine that reflects its origin with intensity and depth.
2. Organic & Sustainable
At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, sustainable farming is a way of life. No pesticides. No synthetic additives. Just honest viticulture in harmony with nature. This dedication ensures not only exceptional wine but also a cleaner planet.
3. French Oak Aging for Complexity
Capricci spends time in French oak barrels, enriching its structure and flavor with notes of vanilla, cedar, and a touch of smokiness—ideal for red sauce-based dishes and grilled meats.
4. Small Batch, Handcrafted
Unlike mass-market wines, Capricci is made in small batches, hand-harvested and vinified with care. Every bottle is a reflection of passion, heritage, and patience.
Set the mood: candles, Italian music, and rustic table settings. Use warm, earthy tones to echo the Tuscan landscape. A wooden board with antipasti, and of course, a bottle of Capricci, are essential.
Cook Seasonal, Regional Dishes
Keep it traditional. Choose recipes that use quality ingredients—fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil. Our recommendation? Start with bruschetta, followed by homemade pasta with ragù, and finish with tiramisu.
Serve Capricci at the Right Temperature
Capricci shines when served at around 18°C (64°F). Decant for 30 minutes to unlock its layered aromas.
