Donna Laura Ali Sangiovese Rosato 2022
£17.50
Donna Laura Ali Rosato by Tolaini winery is a pure Sangiovese showing a light pink color. The nose displays hints of strawberry, red cherry and pink grapefruit. The palate is fresh and has a pleasant and longlasting finish.
Made from 100% Sangiovese, the grapes are harvested at the end of August. The bunches are selected in the fields by an optical sorter as soon as they arrive at the cellar. The wine spends two hours macerating with the skins. It is then put into stainless steel tanks where it ages for three months on the fine lees.
The name Ali means “wings” in Italian and it is also the name of the winery owner Lia Tolaini-Banville’s “little angel”: her daughter. The artwork from the label is a detail of Cupid from the original artwork for the Bramosia Chianti Classico label by Rik Olsen.

Tolaini Donna Laura – Toscana
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 Pier Luigi 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, Pier Luigi 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, Pier Luigi 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, Pier Luigi’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 Pier Luigi 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.
