Description
History
I Mandorli is a farm located in Suvereto, Tuscany, practicing biodynamic agriculture to produce wines that reflect the authenticity of the territory. The Cabernet Franc represents one of their flagship labels, showcasing the company’s commitment to enhancing international grape varieties cultivated in harmony with the local environment.
Grapes used

Production method
The grapes, grown on clayey soils rich in schist, marl, sandstone, and bedrock, are hand-harvested. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously in steel tanks using indigenous yeasts. The wine matures for 12 months in barrels, followed by 6 months in vitrified cement and an additional 8 months in the bottle, without fining or filtration, thus preserving the purity and integrity of the product.
