The Tili winery vineyards extend for more than 15 hectares over the hills near the picturesque city of Assisi in the luxuriantly green heart of Umbria. The love for this land and its fruits is the force driving this family business that, for decades, has passionately and wholeheartedly dedicated itself to the production of top quality wine and oil.

Gianfranco and Graziella Soldera are guided by a philosophy of respect for the laws of nature, allowing it to express all its potential. On their estate southwest of Montalcino, they cultivate more than 23 hectares of the Sangiovese Grosso vine, which is used for their Brunello di Montalcino.

The origins of the Tili cellars

The founder of the Tili family arrived here in Central Italy way back in 1200, as one of Barbarossa’s followers. And his descendants have never left. In 1978, following tradition and the family business, the owner of the company started to bottle the wine. His sole aim was to realise the dream of making the wine recognised, tasted and appreciated worldwide. And this is still happening down to today.

The Tili winery, which produces between 90,000 and 100,000 bottles a year, is now known in the United States, Japan, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland and Germany. The Tili wines stand out as value products due to the calcareous terrain on which they are grown, a terroir that is particularly permeable and unable to hold rainwater. This enriches the organoleptic profile of the grapes with saline. The strength of this family’s vineyards derives from the excellent geographic and climatic conditions. This combined with special growing techniques and lack of pesticides and weed killers produces wines of the highest quality. Tili products include Assisi Bianco DOC, Assisi Grechetto DOC, Assisi Rosso DOC, Gaudium, Muffa Reale, Assisi Pinot Nero DOC, Sacreterre and Young Assisi Rosso DOC.

Gianfranco and Graziella believe that, to obtain a fine product, you need to draw on past experience, fully understanding it, in order to verify and innovate it with modern experimental techniques. This is why the wines produced on the Case Basse estate are the result of research and study. Backed by faculties of agriculture in various universities and the department of microbiology in Florence, Casa Soldera wines are supported by an electronic control unit that checks the weather all year round and by careful study of the entire vinification stage, allowing control and analysis of the wine from the vine to the glass.

They do all this while respecting traditional cultivating techniques, with weed killer-free fertilising, a structure and organisation of the vines that allow for manual processing, dual pruning, thinning of the grapes and limited defoliation in the autumn that helps the fruit to ripen properly.
