Tombolini
The Tombolini winery from the Marche region is a family-run business operating within the territory of Staffolo, on the southern side of the classic Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi zone, a grape and a place that the Tombolini family proudly and passionately values. The beginnings of the winemaking activity for the family date back to 1944, when Sante Tombolini, a successful merchant of spices, liquors, and spirits in the town of Loreto, decided to purchase the first vineyards, driven by the success of the wines and sparkling wines from the nearby Castelli di Jesi. The business was then significantly expanded by his sons Paolo and especially Giovanni during the 1950s and 1960s, with the brothers decisively focusing on quality by introducing cutting-edge techniques for the time. Under Giovanni, the estate reached several milestones, becoming among the first in the 1950s to use amphorae in vinification and working with pure Verdicchio in stainless steel at controlled temperatures during the 1970s. He also launched the 'Castelfiora' brand, an internationally successful label. In the 1990s, Fulvia Tombolini, Giovanni’s daughter, renewed the estate, directing production towards environmental sustainability, while today, her son Carlo leads the winery with the same audacity and innovative spirit as his predecessors.
The Tombolini estate spans 30 hectares, all located within the territory of Staffolo and entirely dedicated to Verdicchio, the principal grape of the area. The rows of vines are situated at an altitude between 220 and 300 meters above sea level and rest on soils composed of clay-limestone veins alternating with sands, sandstones, and blue clays. The microclimate is also highly suited to quality viticulture thanks to significant continental thermal excursions clashing with breezes from the Adriatic Sea. Harvesting is done by hand, and various materials are used for fermentation and aging containers, including stainless steel tanks, cement vats, wooden barrels, and even ceramic jars.
The entire production of the Tombolini winery is centered on just two labels: two Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore wines that express the exceptional qualitative potential of the denomination. Besides their seductive organoleptic characteristics, these wines are notable for their longevity and the peculiar amphora-shaped packaging that has distinguished Tombolini wines for over 70 years.
