About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards in Valpolicella with volcanic, tuff-rich soils. Locally, this tuff is known as toar and contributes to the wine’s distinctive flavour.

Ageing

The wine ages for 14 months in 600 L Slavonian and Allier oak barrels, half of which are new, followed by five months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Label / history

The name “Toar” refers to the local term for the area’s volcanic tuff.
