Nestled atop the picturesque hill of Le Tolfe, Torre alle Tolfe is a family-owned winery located near the historic city of Siena. The estate spans 100 hectares, with 13 hectares dedicated to vineyards, surrounded by olive groves, woodlands, and meadows. At the heart of the property stands an ancient watchtower from the eighth century, alongside a charming 17-bedroom villa. Committed to organic farming, Torre alle Tolfe produces a diverse range of wines and premium olive oil, while also cultivating organic grains and pulses. The estate features converted farm buildings that offer cozy apartments with stunning views of the countryside and Siena.
Torre alle Tolfe specializes in exquisite Sangiovese, the cornerstone of their wine production, complemented by local varieties such as Canaiolo, Colorino, and Ciliegiolo. Since 2003, the winery has embraced organic practices, focusing on sustainability and quality. Every step, from hand-pruning the vines to bottling the wines, is performed manually, ensuring the highest standards. Their portfolio includes both red and rosé wines, meticulously blended for a refined taste.
The heart of Torre alle Tolfe lies in its community, comprising three families who have dedicated decades to the winery's success. Currently, they produce six distinct wines: Chianti Colli Senesi, Chianti CS Riserva, Rosato Lunella, Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo, and Castro de Tolfis. Additionally, they craft an organic Grappa from the distillation of Sangiovese skins. The wines reflect the unique characteristics of their vineyards and terroir, with minimal technological intervention, allowing the true essence of Tuscany to shine through.

One of the most magical placed I’ve been in Italy. Starting from the interior & architecture, the scenery, the animals, the nature surrounding the tower and most importantly the people. Truly warm and welcoming. We’ve done the historical tour & wine tasting which was very insightful and TASTY. I also bought a few of their homemade wines.

I was at the winery for a four day intensive wine course, in October. The staff was so warm and welcoming. We ordered lunch every day which was always a tasty selection of simple local Tuscan dishes. They can even accommodate Gluten Free on request. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful this time of year. This is a working winery and I am sure you will love the Chianti wines as much as we did. The wine maker is a master at his craft and we enjoyed talking with him. I did not spend the night since I live about 40 minutes away. But I have to admit I missed starting my morning there today since the wine course is over. This is a hidden gem right outside of Siena. The views are nothing short of amazing.
