From the outset, the Tolaini mission has been to embrace the region's rich tradition in culture and life by creating great wines that celebrate Tuscany.

Vine planting techniques, irrigation systems, appropriate technology and initiation of special agricultural projects have all been undertaken after a careful, sensitive study of the terrain which included an initial rebalancing of the soil.

Reflective of the vineyards that encircle, the winery at Tolaini Estate is an expression of both old and new. Gentle – yet not entirely traditional – winemaking techniques are used in a thoroughly modern facility to produce wine of great character.

Different parcels of vines are harvested and fermented separately in order to achieve the highest quality wine possible. The winery contains a generous array of tank sizes, including temperature-controlled stainless steel fermenters as well as open-top fermenters of French Allier oak. All primary fermentations undergo manual punch-downs to extract skins and pips without extracting unwanted bitterness. Batches are kept apart through subsequent barrel aging in new French oak before blending.
