BEST BUY from Wine Enthusiast: "Cranberries, raspberries and hibiscus on the nose of this wine contrast with savory notes of dried herbs, soil and pencil shavings. The palate is all juicy red fruit, with more cranberries along with cherries and strawberries..." Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast│April 1st, 2023
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 was mother to three rough-and-tumble boys and immediately bonded with Lia. Thus began the tradition of yearly visits where during the warm summer days and nights 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 and after graduating with degrees in art and economics and starting a family of her own.
