Poggio Mandorlo
Poggio Mandorlo sits in Toscana, the heart of central Italy's wine country. The winery produces red blends that marry Tuscan Sangiovese with Bordeaux varieties—Merlot and Cabernet Franc—a pairing that reflects the region's modern approach to winemaking. Il Poggiomandorlo, a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend, leads the portfolio and has earned recognition from Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. Maremma Toscana, a three-varietal blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, follows closely in critical assessment. Il Guardiano rounds out the core range, combining Sangiovese and Merlot into a structured red. These wines demonstrate the house's commitment to balancing the dark fruit and earthiness of Sangiovese with the ripe, supple character of Merlot and the herbal spine of Cabernet Franc—a signature of contemporary Tuscan winemaking.
