About the winery · Tomaiolo ›
Tomaiolo is presented by Monsieur Touton as a Tuscany/Chianti label, and the exact Gold Label bottling is part of its Chianti Riserva di Famiglia range. A European retailer lists Castellani S.p.A. of Pontedera, Italy as the bottler for Tomaiolo Chianti Riserva; this connection is useful but not stated on the U.S. distributor page for the Gold Label item. Famiglia Castellani states that the Castellani family has produced classic Tuscan wines for more than 120 years, with each generation selecting wines for the family brand.
