Category: Tenuta Degli Dei Cavalli

Tommaso Cavalli is the son of fashion designer Roberto Cavalli. But when it comes to wine production, he calls the shots at Tenuta degli Dei. It was also Tommaso who turned the 70-hectare estate, which his father had acquired as a retreat in the 1970s, into an economically successful business.
Tommaso has lived and worked here with his family since 1989. He started out with his great passion: breeding trotting horses. He then moved on to grappa, vodka, gin - and wine. And just as Tommaso himself is, so are his wines: precise and always to the point. At the same time, they are absolutely stylish and cosmopolitan, without forgetting their Tuscan roots. The Cavallis originally come from nearby Florence, where they still cultivate vineyards with around 1,800 Alicante vines. Only international grape varieties grow on the five hectares of vineyards at Tenuta degli Dei.
The reason why Tommaso decided to become a winemaker is simply because he would have found it a shame if no wine were to grow in such good locations with perfect conditions. And his success proves him right - but that probably runs in the family...
