Born in Mexico, with a mother from Hawaii via Korea and an anthropologist father from New York via Paris, he was weaned on exotic and delicious foods. Marc Millon, VIA Italian Wine Ambassador 2021, has been travelling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for nearly 40 years. Symbol of the new course is the Tombolini "100 years" amphora, a proprietary bottle created to contain only the best Verdicchios from the Tombolini estate. With the 2020 vintage, he launched a project focused on exalting the unique terroir of Staffolo and experimenting with new winemaking techniques. In 2013, the call of the land became irresistible for Carlo Paoloni, son of Fulvia, who quit his job in investment banking in London to devote himself to the family business. In the 90s, his daughter Fulvia Tombolini extended the (Verdicchio) vineyard to 30 hectares and started their journey towards sustainable viticulture.
With the brand Castelfiora, which he produces in the newly built winery in Staffolo (1972), he has writen an important chapter in the history of the denomination. He is among the firsts to have adopted the “amphora” bottle, icon of the denomination. He focused on vinification in steel, imports winemaking skills from Piedmont and carefully selects the best grapes. Already in the 50s Giovanni Tombolini fully understood the potential of this autochthonous white.
