TENUTE TOMASELLA - THE STRENGTH OF THE SOIL IN THE SOUL OF THE PRODUCTS

In an area where the soil mosaic reaches levels of rare complexity, Tenute Tomasella has made understanding its terroir a true mission. For this reason, it collaborated with Diego Tomasi , a researcher at CREA-VE, on a study aimed at analyzing and understanding the diversity of the soils in which its vines are rooted. The goal is clear: to develop a resilient and adaptable viticulture, capable of responding effectively to climate change without forcing nature, but rather accompanying it with respect. At the heart of the company's property, which extends over approximately 50 hectares , lies a surprising geological variety. Soils formed following the flooding of the Livenza, influenced over time by deposits from other rivers and the foothills of the Alpine foothills, create a veritable jigsaw puzzle of soils: silty, clayey, and calcareous, alternating even within a few hundred meters. This rare richness gives the grapes unique and diverse characteristics, contributing to the complexity and elegance of the wines produced.

In the Veneto region, the soils are warm, light in color, fine or medium in texture, devoid of skeleton but rich in limestone and organic matter. These conditions favor excellent root development, the absence of stagnation, and an ideal mineral balance (primarily potassium and magnesium), elements that give white grapes intense aromatic profiles and red grapes soft tannins and great structure .

On the other hand, in the Friuli DOC , the vineyards lie on the high Friulian plain, between the Meduna and Livenza rivers, in the central-western portion of the Grave. Here the alluvial soils, with a coarser texture, are distinguished by the abundance of dolomitic limestone , known locally as caranto. It is this substrate that gives the white wines their freshness and floral fragrance , while the red wines are fragrant, structured and capable of nobly evolving over time .

" You can't ask more of the vine than it can give " is the principle that guides Tenute Tomasella in every agronomic and oenological decision. A viticulture of expectation, conscious, that begins with the earth and returns to the earth, fully respecting its rhythm. A philosophy that translates into authentic wines, capable of transcending geographical barriers and speaking a universal language of elegance, harmony, and terroir .

Combining scientific research, a passion for wine, and a profound respect for nature , Tenute Tomasella demonstrates that the true future of wine is being cultivated today, starting with the soil. Furthermore, since 2021, the company has begun the process of converting to organic farming , a path consistent with this vision, which has led to the complete conversion of all its vineyards by the 2025 harvest.
