The Chianti Classico area is vast and varied, stretching from the outskirts of Florence in the north to the outskirts of Siena in the south. The soils and exposures vary greatly.Today, Tuscany is home to the Tolaini estate, a wine estate that combines these ancient elements with modern winemaking techniques. We are proud to practise certified organic and sustainable agriculture that respects the environment and the biodiversity of our land.The symbol "" comes from the Etruscan alphabet and corresponds to our modern letter "T". To honour the link between the ancient and the modern, the symbol "" was chosen to represent the name Tolaini. It is engraved on a 3-metre-high stone, extracted from the vineyard, and stands proudly at the entrance to the estate.Pier Luigi Tolaini is the founder and visionary of the Tolaini estate. When he left his native Tuscany for America as a young man, he knew that one day he would return, buy land and produce great wine.Pier Luigi Tolaini's energy and passion for excellence enabled him to build one of North America's leading transport and logistics companies. But it took him nearly half a century to return to his roots and produce great wines.Pier Luigi spent four years searching for a first-class Tuscan vineyard, which led him to Chianti Classico, in the prestigious Castelnuovo Berardenga region, and to the Montebello and San Giovanni estates. When Pier Luigi first set foot on the amphitheatre-shaped Montebello vineyard, he knew he had found the perfect balance of climate, soil and exposure.Like the vineyards that surround it, Tolaini Estate is an expression of both the old and the new.
