Description

History

I Mandorli is a production company located in Suvereto founded in 2002 by Massimo Pasquetti. The idea came after carefully observing the landscapes and the conformation of the land in the area and therefore decided in 2003 to plant the first vineyards; From the beginning, the technical consultancy will be entrusted to the oenologist Andrea Bargiacchi, an already important name known for the production of excellent organic and biodynamic wines. The richness of the almond trees also and above all in the landscape: steep slopes with soils rich in rock underground and a constant breeze coming from the sea. Today the company also owns one hectare of land in Pantelleria, an area in which Massimo wanted to invest over the years following its foundation.

Grapes used

Cabernet Sauvignon 100%

Production method

The grapes are harvested manually and begin fermentation thanks to indigenous yeasts. This process takes place partly in open tubs and partly in tanks and lasts for about a month in contact with the skins. Subsequently the wine is aged for 12 months in large barrels and then in vitrified concrete for another 8 months. It is then bottled and left to refine in the bottle for 8/10 months before being released on the market.

Alcohol content

14.5%

Tasting notes

It presents an intense ruby red color with a purple hue. On the nose notes of ripe fruit, dried flowers, vegetal notes and spices, with great elegance. Full and enveloping in the mouth, but still elegant, not too heavy and with a persistent finish.

Possible combinations

Excellent with meat dishes, including long-cooked ones, or game, gourmet dishes or selections of mature cheeses. Also excellent as a meditation wine, especially if left to refine for a few years in the bottle.
