It comes entirely from the "Vigna alla Sughera" vineyard, which consists of multiple northeast-facing plots nestled in a wooded setting on the opposite side of the sea. The vines grow on highly mineral soils typical of the Tuscan Metalliferous Hills, rich in schist and galestro. This vintage stands out for its complex bouquet, featuring ripe red fruits, balsamic nuances, and hints of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it perfectly balances warmth and verticality, offering a dense yet silky tannic structure and a vibrant marine freshness enhanced by aging in large oak casks and concrete vats.
From the producer
I Mandorli
The winery was founded in 2002 by Maddalena Pasquetti’s father, Massimo, who fell in love with a few hectares of land in Belvedere di Suvereto and purchased them. In 2003, the first Sangiovese vineyards were planted on the north-east side, followed in 2004 by the first Cabernet vines on the south-east side.
We belong to the land, not the other way around. Every season teaches something new, and our job is to observe, adapt, and find the balance between agricultural practice and soil life. We use green manure in alternating rows to nourish the soil, natural preparations in the vineyard, and copper and sulfur only in the quantities strictly necessary depending on the vintage.
The plants have found their balance with the environment and often regulate themselves. In the newer Vermentino plots, we are experimenting exclusively with homeopathic preparations, completely without copper and sulfur—to understand just how far we can push our boundaries.
