Poggio Mandorlo is located in Seggiano, in the Alta Maremma area that climbs towards the slopes of Monte Amiata, within the Montecucco DOCG Denomination. It is a young company that was created in 2001 by four friends: Roberto, Felice, Giuseppe and Fabio, who decided to give life to their dream and try to enhance a land with great potential. The leadership of the project was entrusted to the expertise and experience of Roberto Cipresso, one of the most famous Italian oenologists in the world, thanks also to his numerous international consultants. Today the direction of the oenological part is entrusted to Filippo Paoletti, a great connoisseur of Tuscany and one of the best interpreters of Sangiovese, who has been working for many years with many realities in the nearby area of Montalcino.
The estate is located in a particularly suitable area of Tuscany, between the Val d’Orcia, Montalcino, Sant’Antimo and Monte Amiata. The property covers a total of 38 hectares, of which 12 are vineyards dedicated mainly to the red grape varieties Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Franc and one hectare for the cultivation of the olive tree, in particular of the highly prized native cultivar Olivastra Seggianese, among the best ever. of our peninsula. The vines are cultivated at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level, within a natural setting that is still wild and rich in large wooded areas. The climate is cool and continental, with considerable temperature variations and constant ventilation, all conditions that favor perfect health of the bunches and slow ripening of the grapes, with intense and elegant aromatic profiles.
The soils are of a rather complex and heterogeneous nature, with a presence of marl and calcareous-clayey schists in the lower areas and with soils composed of marl, quartz and tuff rising towards higher altitudes. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines were created with French clones from Saint-Émilion, while the Sangiovese comes directly from the Montalcino area. The cellar was designed to be inserted within the environmental context in a harmonious way and with minimal impact on the landscape. It is structured on three levels, follows the natural profile of the hill and was built with local stones recovered during the arrangement of the vineyards. The wines are characterized by finesse, elegance and are always characterized by a remarkable freshness, typical of the terroir.
