Villa Mangiacane Malchiodo Toscana IGT 2022 is a pure Sangiovese, brimming with lively fruit, savouriness and a strong gamey character. It's crafted using organic, low-intervention methods on a historic Tuscan estate. Its natural complexity and finesse have won the hearts of wine lovers, making it an ideal choice for those seeking genuine character in each glass.

Taste
Deep ruby in hue, the Villa Mangiacane Malchiodo enchants with generous aromas of ripe cherry, wild berry and a subtle floral lift. The palate is plush showcasing fresh, juicy red fruits along with the noticeable natural wine flavours such as farmyard, mushroom and hay, finely integrated tannins and a distinct mineral edge. Its extended skin contact brings intensity and superb balance, while natural winemaking gives a gentle turbidity and potential for sediment in bottle. The finish is long, energetic and utterly moreish.

Producer
Villa Mangiacane is no ordinary estate; steeped in history and Renaissance inspiration, it lies just 12km from Florence in the rolling Chianti hills. The producer stands apart for its organic cultivation, low-intervention cellar practices, and bold experimentation with amphora ageing (cocciopesto), which imparts compelling complexity. A champion of both tradition and innovation, Villa Mangiacane’s limited-production bottlings express the purity of Sangiovese and reflect dedication to sustainable excellence in every vintage.

A Note on Low Intervention Practices
Low intervention wines are crafted with minimal manipulation in both the vineyard and winery, allowing nature to take the lead at every stage. Producers focus on organic or biodynamic farming, avoid synthetic chemicals, and harvest grapes by hand. In the cellar, interventions - such as excessive filtration, use of additives, cultured yeasts, or heavy sulphite dosing - are kept to an absolute minimum. The goal is to let the unique character of the grape, soil, and vintage shine through, offering wines with greater authenticity, vibrancy, and a clear sense of place. While sometimes unpredictable or slightly cloudy, low intervention wines are celebrated for their expressive flavours and natural individuality.

Awards & Critic Scores
While specific large-scale awards for the Malchiodo 2022 remain forthcoming, the wine is gaining a loyal following for its natural style and refined structure.
