History
“I Mandorli” is a winery located near the Tuscan coast, with strong leanings toward natural and biodynamic practices. The Aleato wine is part of the estate’s experimentation with aromatic varietals: crafted with respect for fruit, gentle processing, and minimalist winemaking. Its vintages are rare and belong to a niche of the estate’s identity, placing Aleatico as the central grape in blend with Sangiovese.
