The achievement of new vineyards and olive groves in fee are the base for a high quality production. In 2002 Buccia Nera turned to an organic production.

Tolaini Societa' Agricola s.r.l.
(Winery in Chianti)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €30.00
The Winery
The vines are between 300–450 meters (1,000ft–1,500ft) above sea level. This location provides a large diurnal range, giving the wines both more elegance and freshness. The 50 hectares of vineyards were planted in spring of 2000. Before planting the vines, Tolaini conducted a “zonation,” evaluating which grape varieties would grow best in each respective microclimate, the zonation considered soil type, drainage and exposure. Grape varieties that were best suited to each area were then planted. The intention at Tolaini is to find the perfect synthesis between old and new. Respecting the land by farming sustainably and organically and then maintaining tradition in our winemaking process, while also using more modern techniques, like our optical sorting machine at harvest. Our philosophy is to grow the best grapes because you cannot make a great wine from mediocre grapes. Our goal is to make wines that reflect the great terroir of Castelnuovo Berardenga.
The Etruscans lived in central Tuscany over 2000 years ago. The Tolaini logo “Y” is an Etruscan letter “T” chosen as a tribute to these historical inhabitants and is sculpted into a 3-meter-high rock that stands at the front gate of the winery.
