The story
The Poggio Mandorlo project began in 2001, initiated by four friends who started making their own wines under the guidance of winemaker Roberto Cipresso.
Production philosophy
The winery seeks to express its terroir and grape varieties, focusing on grape quality and varietal character. The cellar was designed to blend into the landscape and limit environmental impact.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is in Seggiano, at the foot of Mount Amiata, within the Montecucco DOCG area, between Val d’Orcia and Maremma. Its vineyards lie at about 400 metres above sea level on soils that include clay-limestone marl and, in higher parcels, tuff and galestro.
