About the winery · Castellani, Tomaiolo label ›
Tomaiolo is presented in the U.S. market as a Tuscan Chianti Classico Riserva label and is identified by Wine Enthusiast as a Castellani wine. Castellani is a Tuscan producer associated with traditional Sangiovese-based wines, and the Tomaiolo label carries the date A.D. 1903. The exact UPC match was found through Monsieur Touton, which lists the wine as Tomaiolo Chianti Classico Riserva with a Sangiovese-led blend. No exact Tomaiolo-branded producer page was found, so the distributor page is the strongest identity source for this SKU.
