Tomaiolo Description

The Castellani family winery, which produces Tomaiolo, was founded in 1903 in Italy. To date, the vineyard area of the farm has more than 250 hectares of land in the most prestigious areas of Chianti Classico, Tuscany and the Pisa hills. Wineries have been built in each region, which makes it possible to quickly process the harvested crop, preserving the integrity of the berries, avoiding transportation.

For many years, Castellani has not used chemical fertilizers, various pesticides, and other harmful agents, both for humans and for nature. Thanks to such measures, their vineyards are environmentally friendly. The range of the company is wide and includes both classic Tuscan wines produced from Sangiovese and other grape varieties, as well as experimental rulers. In the results of studies that have published such famous world publications as the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal, the Castellani company is on the list of the top 500 Italian companies.

Tasting notes

Vivacious ruby red color. Fruity fragrance, hints of violet, cherry and wild red berries. Full-bodied, dry and traditional, it becomes harmonious after at least one year of ageing.

History

The first documents identifying Chianti with a wine production area, are dated back to the 18th century and referred to the Lega del Chianti (League of Chianti) created in Florence to regulate the administrative relationships with the producers of a red Sangiovese based wine. In Radda, Gaiole e Castellina (currently part of the Chianti Classico production area known as the Golden Triangle). The sign of the Lega del Chianti was a black rooster that later became the emblem of the Chianti Classico Consortium

This Chianti Classico is produced from specially selected Sangiovese grapes grown in the vineyards of the Chianti Classico appellation, the most ancient Chianti area. Made following traditional vinification methods: completely mature grapes are hand harvested from vineyards. Fermentation at controlled temperatures and prolonged maceration with the skins.
