Discover the Essence of Tuscany in Every Sip, Capricci by Tenuta Le Mandorlaie

Tuscany is world-renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and, of course, its wine. At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we’ve dedicated ourselves to the production of exceptional Tuscan wines, and Capricci, our limited-edition Sangiovese, is the epitome of everything that makes Tuscan red wines so sought after.

A Glimpse Into the Heart of Tuscany, Maremma

Capricci hails from the breathtakingly beautiful region of Maremma, a coastal area in southwestern Tuscany that is often referred to as one of Italy’s last great unspoiled wildernesses. Known for its diverse landscapes, Maremma offers a mix of rolling hills, ancient olive groves, dense forests, and miles of pristine coastline. The region has a long history of agriculture, with winemaking being one of its most important traditions.

The unique terroir of Maremma, characterized by its mineral-rich soil and cooling sea breezes, plays a crucial role in the flavor profile of our Capricci. The Sangiovese grapes that make up this wine thrive in these conditions, producing wines that are elegant, full-bodied, and rich in complexity. The land’s natural fertility combined with careful vineyard management ensures that our vines are not only healthy but also yield grapes of the highest quality.

The Tenuta Le Mandorlaie Estate

At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we take pride in the sustainable and eco-friendly practices we use throughout our estate. Situated just outside the town of Scansano, our vineyard benefits from the region’s unique microclimate. The estate spans over 40 hectares, with a mix of vineyards, olive groves, and natural forests.

Our philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for the land, and every aspect of our winemaking process reflects this. From organic farming methods that avoid the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers to our careful attention to water conservation, we are committed to preserving the natural beauty of Maremma while producing wines that are true to the land.

Capricci, A Limited Edition Masterpiece

Capricci is more than just a wine; it’s a celebration of the Sangiovese grape, which is often referred to as the king of Tuscan red wines. The grape is known for producing wines with high acidity and moderate tannins, making it incredibly food-friendly. However, Capricci takes Sangiovese to another level.

This IGT Toscana Rosso is aged in oak barrels, which imparts a beautiful complexity to the wine. The oak aging process adds subtle layers of vanilla and spice, complementing the natural flavors of dark cherry, plum, and blackberry that are characteristic of Sangiovese. On the palate, Capricci is smooth yet full-bodied, with a lingering finish that leaves you wanting more.

Because of its limited production, each bottle of Capricci is a true collector’s item. We produce only a small batch of this wine each year, ensuring that it remains an exclusive offering for our customers.

Pairing Capricci With Your Favorite Dishes

One of the things that makes Capricci such a standout wine is its versatility. Whether you’re enjoying it with a hearty Tuscan meal or simply sipping it on its own, this wine is sure to elevate any occasion. Capricci pairs exceptionally well with rich, flavorful foods such as:

Grilled or roasted meats: The bold flavors of Capricci complement the smoky, savory notes of grilled steaks, lamb, or game meats.
Pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces: Sangiovese is the ideal match for the acidity of tomatoes, making Capricci a great choice for classic Tuscan pasta dishes like pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar pasta).
Aged cheeses: The complex flavors of Capricci pair beautifully with a variety of aged cheeses, particularly hard cheeses like Pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano.
