Vigna alla Sughera, 2012

The wine company I Mandorli is in Tuscany,near Suvereto, a small village between Bolgheri and Piombino, on the hills in front of the coast.The idea of planting the vines, was of my father that bought the land in 2002 and in 2004/5 we planted the first vines. In the time we started, we met Andrea, who worked in an wine company, an expert in biodinamic method. Whith Andrea’s help we started our project: to produce a wine that respect the nature, the soil and the land, that belongs to everyone:the land isn’t ours, so who farms must respect and look after it. Biodinamic method helps to do, so enriching the soil with a natural composition of microrganism that helps the roots of the vines to find a balance. we started to farm the soil with biodinamic method. The cabernet vines face the coast, in front of Elba Island. they overlook the sea, so the name of this wine is Vigna al Mare(vine at sea). The Sangiovese vines, face the “Metallifere Hilss”. These hills are very rich of minerals. Around the Sangiovese vines there is a mediterranean self vegetation with a lot cork trees. So the name of this wine is Vigna alla sughera(Vine at Cork).Our vines are influenced by many elements:sea,minerals, mediterranenean self vegetation and sunlight is very strong. So this elements we can find in our wine. Our wine refects the soil that is stoney,in some part there is a clay or marl orscist and other minerals. WE BELEVE IN OUR SOIL! WE FERMENTED A SOIL!
