This Tuscan red wine is the ideal companion for hearty dishes. It pairs beautifully with game in rich sauces, braised or roasted red meat, robust stews, and aged cheeses. Spicy meats like civet or first courses with game sauces are also elevated by its flavors. For the adventurous: a piece of dark chocolate completes the experience. Try it with venison stew and polenta.
In 2001, Poggio Mandorlo was born from the vision of Roberto, Felice, Giuseppe, and Fabio to showcase their homeland through exceptional wines. Located in the Montecucco DOCG region, the estate is guided by renowned winemakers Roberto Cipresso and Filippo Paoletti. On 94 hectares, Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc thrive under ideal conditions. Poggio Mandorlo is known for award-winning wines like “Il Guardiano,” “La Querce,” and the Super Tuscans Poggio Mandorlo and Ombre. Here, tradition, innovation, and deep respect for nature come together in a unique philosophy.
Deep purple with violet hues. The nose is filled with fruity aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and chocolate. The bouquet is intense, full-bodied, and rich in tannins. The finish is long-lasting with delicate balsamic notes.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a consistently controlled temperature of 22 to 24°C, with multiple daily pump-overs. Maceration lasts 18 to 21 days. The wine then matures for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
The vineyards are located in the heart of Alta Maremma, at the foot of the extinct Monte Amiata volcano, within the Montecucco DOCG region. The soils are a blend of sandstone and limestone marl.
