Our Story

The story behind Cantine Tonelli and our winemaking passion

Twenty years ago, through a fortunate series of events and a growing passion, my Italian winery was born. Over two decades of joys and challenges, I’ve remained faithful to one guiding principle: giving my best in the vineyard, so that every September I bring only the finest grapes to the cellar.
Working in small lots, being present through every step of the process, and keeping an open dialogue with oenologists leads to the best results. But what truly defines our wines is something deeper: a mix of care, instinct, and connection to this land. These elements all need to come together, in order to create the magic that allows a small producer in Piedmont, to craft a truly distinctive Italian wine selection.
I never claim my wines are good, great, or exceptional. I say they are a part of me.
It’s up to you to decide if they speak to your soul as deeply as they speak to mine.
Wine is a pleasure. Everything else is just words.

Our philosophy

I look forward to welcoming you to the simplicity of my cellar. At Cantine Tonelli, a visit to the winery with the producer is more than a tour—it’s a chance to understand our values in person.
Many of our decisions, even when they go against market trends or expectations, are shaped by one principle: quality, always paired with simplicity.
That commitment comes with sacrifices. There were years—like 2014—when entire harvests were sold to other producers, simply because the wine didn’t fully reflect our standards.
It’s this honest approach that we proudly share during our winery tours and tastings.
If you’re searching for authenticity, a personal story, and perhaps even a glass of what makes Italian wine famous, we’d be honored to welcome you to our Italian vineyard.
