The 2018 Tomaiolo Chianti Classico Riserva is beautifully balanced and bright on the palate. This wine shows aromas and flavors of subtle cedar box, ripe cherries, and light smokey notes. Serve it with Rosemary-accented, slow-cooked lamb shanks. (Tasted: 10/3/24, San Francisco, CA)
The Castellani family winery, which produces Tomaiolo, was founded in 1903 in Italy. To date, the vineyard area of ??the farm has more than 250 hectares of land in the most prestigious areas of Chianti Classico, Tuscany and the Pisa hills. Wineries have been built in each region, which makes it possible to quickly process the harvested crop, preserving the integrity of the berries, avoiding transportation.
For many years, Castellani has not used chemical fertilizers, various pesticides, and other harmful agents, both for humans and for nature. Thanks to such measures, their vineyards are environmentally friendly. The range of the company is wide and includes both classic Tuscan wines produced from Sangiovese and other grape varieties, as well as experimental rulers. In the results of studies that have published such famous world publications as the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal, the Castellani company is on the list of the top 500 Italian companies.
