Description

History

I Mandorli is a production company located in Suvereto founded in 2002 by Massimo Pasquetti. The idea comes after having carefully observed 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 winemaker Andrea Bargiacchi, an already important name known for the production of excellent organic and biodynamic wines. The richness of almond trees also and above all in the landscape: steep slopes with soils rich in rock in the subsoil and a constant breeze 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.

Production method

The grapes are harvested manually and fermentation begins thanks to indigenous yeasts. This procedure 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 6 months. It is then bottled and left to age in the bottle for 8 months before being placed on the market.

Possible combinations

Excellent with platters of cold cuts and cheeses, or with traditional Tuscan meat dishes.
