Product Information

• Product Details

  

  Tortoniano is named for the tortonian-era soils in which the vines are planted, which contain a high percentage of magnesium and manganese. Grape clusters are thinned and harvested up to 15 days later than usual so that the fruit attains higher concentration. Temperatures are strictly controlled during vinification and the wine is aged for two years in large oak casks and one year in bottle before release.

  • Named after the tortonian-era soils (9 MM years old) in which the vines are planted
  • Grapes from select vineyards that the Chiarlo family has worked with for generations
  • Aged for a minimum of 16 months
