Product Details – Tenuta Le Mandorlaie Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

At Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, our olive oil is the product of tradition, organic farming, and a passion for quality. We produce our extra virgin olive oil from olives grown organically on our estate in Maremma, Tuscany. Our olive trees are cared for with sustainable practices that ensure the health of the soil, respect the environment, and preserve the natural flavors of the fruit.

Why Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Our organic extra virgin olive oil stands out due to its exceptional taste, health benefits, and purity. Free from synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, it is produced following strict organic standards, making it ideal for anyone who values natural, wholesome ingredients. Packed with antioxidants and healthy fats, this olive oil is also rich in polyphenols, which contribute to its distinctive flavor profile—a harmonious balance of peppery, fruity, and slightly bitter notes.

The Taste and Aroma

The aroma of Tenuta Le Mandorlaie’s organic olive oil is fresh and vibrant, capturing the essence of the Tuscan countryside. With hints of green herbs, artichoke, and a subtle spiciness, the flavor is well-rounded, making it ideal for drizzling over salads, pastas, grilled vegetables, and bread. This versatile oil elevates any dish, bringing a bit of Tuscany into every meal.

Health Benefits

Organic extra virgin olive oil is widely known for its health benefits. It’s rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which support cardiovascular health and help fight inflammation. Including it in your diet has been shown to have positive effects on overall health, making it both a thoughtful and beneficial gift.

Product Details – Capricci Oak-Aged Sangiovese Red Wine

Our Capricci wine is an exceptional Tuscan red that embodies the land and the tradition of winemaking in Maremma. Produced from carefully tended vineyards, Capricci is an oak-aged Sangiovese that reflects our commitment to quality and respect for the environment. Each bottle is a testament to our dedication as an independent vineyard, and the result is a wine that captures the rustic elegance and robust flavors that Tuscany is known for.

The Winemaking Process

Capricci is crafted with utmost care, beginning with our organically grown Sangiovese grapes. Harvested by hand, these grapes are carefully sorted to ensure that only the best fruit makes it into the wine. Following fermentation, Capricci is aged in oak barrels, a process that lends it a rich, complex profile. The oak aging deepens the flavors and adds subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and a hint of smoke, making Capricci a full-bodied and memorable wine.

Tasting Notes

Capricci is a well-balanced Sangiovese with aromas of dark cherry, plum, and hints of earthy undertones. On the palate, it unfolds with flavors of ripe red berries, balanced acidity, and smooth tannins that lead into a lingering finish. This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of foods, from pasta and risotto to grilled meats and rich cheeses, making it a versatile choice for wine lovers.

A Wine for All Occasions

While Capricci is a standout wine on its own, its character and quality make it ideal for gifting. Whether enjoyed during a holiday meal or saved for a special occasion, this wine is sure to impress. Its bold yet smooth profile is an invitation to savor the moment, and it perfectly complements the fresh flavors of Tenuta Le Mandorlaie’s olive oil.
