The Story
This wine is made from predominantly Sangiovese with equal parts of 2 clones, F9 and CH-20. The F9 Sangiovese clone contributes vibrant fruit qualities to the wine and the CH-20 provides structure. A small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon is added to the blend and this adds additional layers of complexity.
The name Ali means "wings" in Italian and is also the name of winery owner Lia Tolaini-Banville's "little angel": her daughter. The artwork from the label is a detail of Cupid from the original artwork for the Bramosia Chianti Classico label by Rik Olsen.

About Donna Laura
Producer Story
The story of Donna Laura Wines is a nomadic discovery of heritage and matriarchal devotion as linear as the winding roads that weave through the hillsides and vineyards of Tuscany. The history follows vintner Lia Tolaini Banville from her birthplace in Canada to her ancestral home outside the city of Lucca, where at the age of six on her family's annual summer holiday, Lia met her Aunt Laura who would become a driving force in in her life. Laura would instill in Lia an appreciation for Italian culture, history, music and most of all art. Laura's presence in Lia's life would inspire her as a mother, cook, vintner and businessperson. In 2004 an opportunity arose to write a new chapter in the story, this time in Castelnuovo Berardenga with the production of the Chianti wine label Donna Laura
