Alessandro Tofanari Specialities: White wine

Nestled in the rolling hills overlooking the towers of San Gimignano, the La Castellaccia estate represents the very essence of artisanal Tuscan viticulture. Under the passionate guidance of Alessandro Tofanari and Simona Orsini, the winery has embraced a path of profound respect for the land, adopting organic and biodynamic principles. Here, the connection to the terroir is not just a slogan but a daily practice: the goal is to produce wines that serve as "liquid photographs" of the vintage and the soil, eschewing invasive interventions to let nature take its course both in the vineyard and the cellar.

The Authentic Soul of San Gimignano

The beating heart of the estate’s production is Vernaccia di San Gimignano, which Alessandro interprets with surprising depth and aging potential, delivering a white wine of great character—savory and mineral. The range also features highly expressive reds, where Sangiovese and other indigenous varieties showcase elegance and a vibrant drinkability. Choosing a wine from La Castellaccia means bringing to the table the story of an independent winemaker who has masterfully transformed tradition into a pure, honest, and wonderfully terroir-driven sensory experience.
