Press Review

"Matching wine to the flavour of Pimms is somewhat futile, but this super-pale, organic Sangiovese rosé has amazing sour cranberry tones, and it is spine-tinglingly dry and refreshing. Hence, it stands a great chance of cutting through the Pimms jelly while at the same time electrifying your senses."

Val di Toro

Val di Toro is a family owned winery in Maremma in Southern Tuscany, near to Grosseto and about five miles from the sea. It was founded in 2003 by Anna Maria Cruciata, originally from Sicily and her husband Hugh Maxwell.

The land used to be used for breeding Maremman bulls, hence the name of the winery but is very suitable for vine growing being high in minerals and, at an altitude of 90 metres, cooled by breezes from the sea. Their aim is to produce wines according to organic principles and the vineyards have been certified organic since 2015. There are now 12 hectares of vines with every aspect of production, both in the vineyard and winery carried out with the greatest respect for the environment. Grape varieties are mostly Sangiovese with a little Montepulciano and Vermentino and Grechetto for the whites. The resulting wines are fresh, and flavoursome with real depth of character.

Vintage guide

A dry winter followed by a hot summer has certainly affected yields in 2022, but the quality looks excellent across the country. Small but perfectly formed seems to sum up the 2021 vintage here. Across most of the country the 2020 vintage is looking very good indeed with ripe fruit and lovely aromatics. A classic if not straight forward vintage 2019 has delivered some excellent wines but in smaller quantity. Overall, the results are very good in 2018, though a warm wet early summer led to disease pressures in many parts of the country. The Northeast, home to Prosecco amongst others did particularly well; so too did Tuscany and Piedmont but yields were a little down in some estates. 2017 saw a small crop of excellent wines; spring frosts and a later heatwave nicknamed ‘Lucifer’ reduced yields, but you’ll find good results on the whole with excellent results in Piedmont. Yields were down in 2016 but quality is high, Piedmont and Tuscany at least as good as 2015. 2015 is generally an excellent vintage across Italy, perhaps reds having the edge over whites. A year that necessitated a lot of work in the vineyards due to the rains, 2014 produced some surprisingly good results with elegant fresh wines across the country.
