Donna Laura - Italy
Tech-savvy and robust research and innovation, while remaining sustainable, have helped Tolaini establish itself as a heavyweight from Tuscany. Everything about this wine celebrates family and tradition, right from the viticulture and vinification to the naming. Donna Laura is named for the matriarchal devotion of the vintner to her inspirational friend and guide, Aunt Laura. ‘Alteo’ is a combination of the names of the owner’s sons, Alessandro and Matteo.
Experience the rich flavors of this exceptional Chianti Riserva. The wine’s well-rounded nose of sweet spice, red cherries, and leather is a result of temperature-controlled malolactic fermentation and gentle oak maturation. The big, exquisite palate boasts a spicy Sangiovese backbone, roundness from Merlot, and enhanced body from Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit purity and varietal signatures are a testament to the meticulous care given to the vines. Savor the long finish with grilled meats or flavorful Indian dishes. Decant with care to avoid sediment present in this unfiltered wine.
