The Tolaini winery represents a modern expression of an ancient winemaking land. It was a natural fit for proprietor Pierluigi Tolaini, who returned to his Tuscan homeland after building a lucrative transportation business in North America. He found a beautiful property in the warmer part of the Chianti Classico hills around Castelnuovo Berardenga, an area that excels at growing generously-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that tends to be sleeker and more vibrantly structured compared with the opulence of coastal Tuscany (including Bolgheri). With the help of famous Bordeaux-based consultant, Michel Rolland, they form those grapes into the polished, rich and complex "Legit!" Organically Farmed.
WINE SPECTATOR 94 POINTS - "Well-defined black cherry and blackberry flavors are shaded by notes of rosemary, eucalyptus, iron and tobacco in this firm and complex red, which shows lovely balance and grip on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2036."
