TRADITION

The company is located in the province of Palermo among Alcamo, the small country town of Grisì and Partinico.

It was born from the passion and intuition of Girolamo Tola called “Mimmo”, who inherited by his father Francesco the love for the country and above all for viniculture. For his family the land has been support, life but also enthusiasm, satisfaction and pride.

Since his childhood, Mimmo was involved in his father activities, and all this left him see the great sacrifice of that man who loved his work ardently. He got up at at dawn and come back home in the evening, all the day in the sun or in the cold, with the wind or in the rain, his face marked by weariness, so tired he could not utter a word but satisfied with the work done during that day.

Tola’s wines are created in respect of nature, from wholly company grapes of which, essentially in the first person and afterwards with the help of a team of experts, the owner takes care. His belief is “the wine is made in the vineyard”, everything begins from here and that’s why it’s important to make a great wine to worry about the plant since his birth. The vineyards of Tola company are located on the Bosco Falconeria estate, at an altitude of about 400 metres above sea level, in one of the most prestigious terroir of Sicily. From there one can see the entire gulf of Castellammare, where the plains beaten by south-east winds and the slight sea breeze give up to the gentle and sunny hills.

The cultivation is espalier, to simple guyot with a density of 4600 plants per hectare, with a vine spacing of 240x90 cm. and an average production of about 2 kg. per plant. Tola wines come from highly selected grapes from native vines such as: Nero d’Avola, Syrah, Grillo, Catarratto, Insolia and from non-authocton vines like Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot noir. Every wine claims its individuality, paternity of the grape, tells its story and above all has marked distinctive characteristics according to the sicilian winemaking tradition.
