Having always been winegrowers, in 1960 they began planting the first four hectares of vineyards in the Banditaccia area; today there are around one hundred. Fattoria Mantellassi covers 215 hectares across the hills of the Maremma in the municipality of Magliano in Toscana. The soil is tuff-limestone in nature, with a vineyard composition consisting mainly of red grape varieties: Sangiovese, Alicante, Cabernet Sauvignon, Morellino, Merlot, Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia Nera and Ciliegiolo; and white grape varieties: Vermentino and Sauvignon.

The Maremma Toscana DOC Maestrale by Mantellassi is a Tuscan red wine made from 100% Ciliegiolo, aged in stainless steel tanks and left to rest for several months in the bottle. It presents a bright ruby red colour; on the nose, there are pleasant notes of cherry and raspberry, fresh flowers and a hint of rose. The palate is smooth, with a pleasant freshness; a perfect wine to enjoy a few months after bottling.
This red wine is ideal for everyday drinking and pairs well with traditional Tuscan cured meats.
