Tolaini Donna Laura

The Tolaini Estate is located in the prestigious comune of Castelnuovo Berardenga, the southern-most region of Chianti Classico. This area of Tuscany is known for producing wines of strength, power and longevity.

When Pierluigi Tolaini left his Tuscan home for North America as a young man in 1956, he dreamed of coming back to Italy one day to make a great Tuscan wine. In 1998, Pierluigi returned to his native land and began to search for the best location to make the wine he had been dreaming about over the past 40 years.

In the heart of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Pierluigi discovered the Montebello and Vallenuova vineyards. With an incredible variation in elevation and ideal soil profiles, he understood immediately the great potential that this land possessed.

Today, Pierluigi’s daughter Lia Tolaini Banville continues his dream of making Tuscan wines that honor the distinctive terroir of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Lia is preserving the impressive legacy of Pierluigi while bringing new ideas and innovation to the Tolaini Estate.

Donna Laura estate is a separate estate also belonging to Tolaini family that is taken care of by the same enologist and agronomist as the Tolaini estate.
