Owner: Mania Spalding

Viticulture: Organic/Biodynamic

La Torre alle Tolfe estate is located near Siena, in Chianti Colli Senesi. The hamlet of La Torre alle Tolfe with its historical castle is surrounded by woods, vineyards, and olive groves. The estate covers 100 hectares, of which 13 hectares are cultivated with vineyards and 15 hectares with olive trees, while the remainder is constituted by woods and fields. The winery adopts the organic methods and is controlled and certified by Q Certificazioni srl. We produce Chianti Colli Senesi and Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The characteristics of the soil, which results from the disintegration of sandstone, and the excellent sun exposure of the vineyards, allow the production of very complex and elegant wines. Harvesting operations are performed manually and each variety is harvested at a determined time - Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, Mammolo, Merlot - so to ensure the optimal degree of maturation. Grapes are then accurately selected. The four varieties of olives - Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, Pendolino – allow us to produce an Extra Virgin Oil of fineness and character.
