Torre Alle Tolfe Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG, 2021

Torre Alle Tolfe Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG, 2021

Regular price $23.00

This wine is made of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo. The wine is fermented and aged completely in cement to preserve the wine's terroir. The palate is full of blackberry preserves and plums, balanced by soft, grippy tannins. We would pair this with a hearty lasagna, filled with ground beef, pork, and veal. Torre alle Tolfe traces its name back to the 8th century, when a watchtower was built nearby as part of the defense strategy of the people of Siena. Winemaking at the estate dates back to 1316 AD.

Details

From our Importer: Situated 5 km from the center of Siena, la Torre alle Tolfe is a 100 hectares farm that traces its name back to the VIII century when was built as a watchtower for the defence of Siena. The first written records of winemaking on the estate date back to 1316. The Castelli history on the estate dates to the 1950s and now, Mania and Giotto are living on the estate and they represent the fourth generation. We’re situated at 300 meters above the sea level on a marine deposit form Paleocene, that’s why our soils are mostly sandy. We’re Organic since 2004 but we’re also part of the Vinnatur, Vignaioli dipendenti and Diversity Bio association to achieving the maximum expression of biodiversity and authenticity in the vineyards like in the wines. Winemaking is the responsibility of Giacomo Mastretta. Under his expert guidance we currently produce six wines: Chianti Colli Senesi, Chianti CS Riserva, Rosato Lunella, Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo and Colorino. We choose to vinify each of our 4 traditional grape varieties separately, which allows us to offer the unique opportunity to taste these varietals pure, as well as in blends in some of our Chianti wines.

The 13 ha of vineyards are managed also from Mania Castelli and our agronomist Stefano Amadeo, that are striving to work with nature and the climate to produce abundant, organically grown grapes, with zero impact on the land and its natural biodiversity. Our aim is to minimize as far as possible the use of technology and chemicals: these are seen more as a limitation than a help, standardizing the wines instead of letting their particularities and unique characters emerge. We’re using soils, entomologic and botanic analysis instead, to understand our vineyards and the ecosystem that we’re surrounded by. To help and get help from every single living being.
