The Wines

At Tolaini Winery organic principles are applied by incorporating modern technology, sparing usage of sulfites and a sterile environment all while honoring the traditions of this historic region. It was Lia’s desire to make wines that are pure in Sangiovese fruit, with balanced tannins, wines to enjoy every day.

Bramosia
