From the Land to Your Glass, The Story of Capricci at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie

When you sip on a glass of Capricci, you’re not just tasting a finely crafted wine—you’re experiencing a journey through the heart of Maremma, a region where winemaking has been honed over centuries. At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, the land is more than just soil; it’s a living, breathing part of the winemaking process. In every bottle of Capricci, we honor the unique terroir, the traditions of Tuscany, and the commitment to sustainable farming practices.

Maremma, A Region Rich in Winemaking History

Located in the southwestern part of Tuscany, Maremma is often overlooked compared to the more famous wine regions of Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino. But those in the know understand that Maremma produces some of Italy’s finest wines, and Capricci is a prime example.

Maremma’s varied landscape, with its mix of rolling hills, coastal plains, and ancient forests, provides the perfect conditions for grape growing. The region’s Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters, is ideal for Sangiovese, the grape that forms the backbone of our Capricci. The cooling breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea help moderate temperatures, ensuring a long growing season that allows the grapes to develop rich, complex flavors.

At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we harness the natural beauty and fertility of Maremma to create wines that are true to their terroir. Our vines are planted on soils rich in minerals, which add depth and character to the fruit. This unique combination of soil, climate, and tradition is what gives Capricci its distinctive flavor profile.

Sustainable Winemaking at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie. We believe that great wine starts with healthy vineyards, and that means taking care of the land in a way that benefits both the present and future generations.

We employ organic farming practices that avoid the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, allowing the vines to thrive in harmony with their environment. Water conservation is another key aspect of our approach, and we use drip irrigation systems that ensure our vines receive just the right amount of water without waste. Our commitment to biodiversity extends beyond the vineyard, with olive groves and natural forests that provide a home for local wildlife and contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem.

When you buy a bottle of Capricci, you’re not just purchasing a fine wine—you’re supporting a philosophy of sustainable, eco-friendly farming. You’re also ensuring that future generations will be able to enjoy the same beauty and abundance that we do today.

The Winemaking Process, From Grape to Glass

At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, we believe that the best wines are made with minimal intervention, allowing the natural qualities of the grapes to shine through. For Capricci, this means a careful, hands-on approach at every stage of the winemaking process.

The grapes are harvested by hand at the peak of ripeness, ensuring that only the best fruit makes it into the wine. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the final product. The oak aging process imparts subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and tobacco that complement the natural fruit flavors of the Sangiovese grape.

The result is a wine that is both elegant and robust, with a rich bouquet of dark cherry, plum, and blackberry, along with hints of earth and spice. On the palate, Capricci is smooth and well-balanced, with fine tannins and a long, lingering finish.

The Perfect Pairing for Any Occasion

Capricci is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods. Its bright acidity and firm tannins make it the perfect match for classic Tuscan dishes such as wild boar ragù, grilled meats, and pasta with tomato-based sauces. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano Reggiano.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening at home, Capricci is sure to impress. Its complex flavors and smooth texture make it a crowd-pleaser that will elevate any meal.
