Cantina Toblino joins the Bancroft Wines Portfolio
I still recall when I first arrived at the estate, my immediate thoughts could only be summarised by one word: wow. The mountains were splendid, even from the motorway, and then the nearby Castel Toblino, picture perfect reflected in the nearby lake, nearly sent me into it! The whole setting is magnificent.
With a Michelin starred restaurant on the Toblino estate, these are approachable yet sophisticated wines that lend themselves well to fine dining restaurants. Chardonnay particularly flourishes here, but equally Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and the local Nosiola seem to sing in this cool climate. The reds have charming poise and clarity too; the Lagrein is like a mouthful of mountain cherries with real texture, whilst the pale Pinot Noir is pure and elegant. We can’t wait to introduce these wines to the UK.’
About Cantina Toblino:
Cantina Toblino is situated in the Valle dei Laghi in Trentino Alto Adige surrounded by a lake and mountains, sitting between 250-800 metres altitude. Toblino is a cooperative with 600+ members and over 900 hectares of vines, with a very strong sustainability and organic-focused record and widely considered to be the most highly regarded vineyard in the region. The winery impressively combines traditional methods with the latest technology; high tech presses, conical foudres, horizontal stainless-steel tanks and locally made clay jars to age the wine. Over half the vines are certified organic, and vine health is helped by the tempering winds that come via the valley through Lake Garda. Chardonnay flourishes here, along with Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, and the native Nosiola and Lagrein.
