Colorino , 2021

The property is a very historical property built around a tower that dates back to the 875 D.C. and the first record of wine-making dates 1316.

Torre alle Tolfe  is a small artisan estate of 13 hectares of vineyard in the municipality of Siena, few Km from the famous square. It is farmed organically since 2004.

- Chianti Colli Senesi: the caratteristic is that the vines grown on sandy soil, a marine deposit of the Pliocene era where you can commonly find oysters fossils. This soil, that appears here and there in a tiny stripe that cross the southern part of Chianti, gives a very original tannic texture and a salty mineral character. To interfere as less is possible with this expression we decided to ferment and age it in the traditional cement tanks, no owk. The 2020 vintage of this wine has been recently reviewed by Eric Asimov of NY Times in the Top 20 wines of the world below 20 dollars.

- Rosato: more a "wine" than not a "Rosè" in the stereotyped idea, here the salty mineral character issued from this soil is particularly upfront.

- Autochthonous Varieties: three single varietal wines made with Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Colorino grapes. With the Sangiovese of the Riserva they are a sort of "Chianti decontructed" where you can find in separate wines some of the classic varieties commonly blended in the Chianti.

- The Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva is the selection of the best fruit from the oldest vines. It age in 1000 Lt chestnut barrels.

- Olive oil is another pride of la Torre alle Tolfe. The olives are crushed in 12 ours after been collected in order to maintain all the flavors and a very high level of polyphenols, one of the main index of quality.
