2019 Tolaini Al Passo Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy
Regular price $26.00
Unit price per
34% Sangiovese, 33% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon
Spicy notes of oak rise above distinct aromas of cherry and berry. The palate has a backbone of Sangiovese, a roundness of Merlot and enhanced body from the Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit purity and varietal signatures are testament to the meticulous care given to the vines. Note: Some sediment may occur in the bottom of the bottle as the wine is not filtered.
Today Tuscany is home to the Tolaini Estate, a winery that combines these ancient elements with modern winemaking. They are proud to practice sustainable farming to respect the environment and the biodiversity of the land.
The symbol "
" is taken from the ancient alphabet of the Etruscans and is equivalent to our modern letter "T". To honor the connection of the ancient with the modern, the symbol "" has been chosen to represent the Tolaini name. The symbol "" is carved into a 3-meter high stone quarried from the vineyard and is proudly placed at the gate of the Estate. The name of this wine comes from the passo found in the circular forest at the highest point of the Montebello vineyard where an Estruscan tomb was uncovered only a few years ago. From here there is a clear view of Montepulciano, Montalcino, and the tower of Piazza del Campo in Siena. This has clearly been a magical place for centuries, which adds to the mystique of this passo.
