Sangiovese

I Mandorli, a family-owned estate in Suvereto, Tuscany, is dedicated to producing wines that showcase the unique terroir of the coastal region. Sangiovese 2015 comes from the single vineyard Vigna alla Sughera, the historic cru of I Mandorli in the hills of San Casciano Val di Pesa. The estate works with a long-term, personal approach, farming organically and releasing wines only after extended aging. Vigna alla Sughera has always been central to the project, shaping a Sangiovese built around structure and time rather than early accessibility. A site-specific wine rooted in the rural landscape of Chianti.

I Mandorli

At Belvedere di Suvereto, on a ridge 300 metres above the Tyrrhenian Sea, Maddalena Pasquetti carries forward the family project begun by her father, Massimo, in 2002. What started with the recovery of land abandoned for decades gradually became I Mandorli: an estate shaped by sea winds, mineral soils and the biodiversity of the Mediterranean landscape.

The vineyards are divided into seven parcels across two slopes and planted with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Vermentino and Aleatico. The soil is farmed organically through cover crops, natural and biodynamic preparations, and an approach based on observation rather than force.

In the cellar, each parcel is vinified separately. Fermentations begin spontaneously with native yeasts, without oenological additives, while the wines mature in large wooden barrels, glass-lined concrete tanks and terracotta amphorae. The aim is not to impose a style, but to allow each vineyard, vintage and exposure to retain its own voice.
