Powerful and elegant at the same time, smooth yet structured, Mandrone di Lohsa
is a wine made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon with small but decisive additions
of Petit Verdot and Carignano. These latter varietals are essential in
giving Mandrone its distinctly Mediterranean character, sunny, clean, and
defined, making it unique and recognizable.

AMBRAE DEL POLIZIANO
IGT TOSCANA BIANCO
After having stopped planting white grape varieties in 1990,
in recent years we have resumed the production of Chardonnay
and Roussanne clones, and the new Ambræ label was born.
The wine is intended to be young and fresh. It is not aged in wood,
but it has the great depth characteristic of the Poliziano terroir.
