How the wine is made
Sourced from certified organic old vines grown on traditional Abruzzo pergolas perched 290 meters above sea level in the foothills of the Gran Sasso mountain range. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation with extended skin contact for vibrant colour and flavour extraction. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for 6 months in thermo-conditioned concrete vats and is bottled in total absence of oxygen to preserve its pristine dark fruit character and silky mouthfeel.
Why we love this producer
Established originally in 1966 in the heart of Teramo, Torri Cantine has evolved into a boutique estate spanning 60 hectares of pristine, organic vineyards running between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine Mountains. Guided by a commitment to minimal-intervention winemaking and absolute respect for the Abruzzo landscape, they focus on preserving native Italian varieties. We love them because they craft energetic, estate-bottled organic wines that showcase true Italian terroir while staying accessibly priced and utterly delicious.
Sustainability & Farming Practices
Certifications: Certified Organic (EU Organic IT-BIO-009), guaranteeing the vineyards are managed without chemical pesticides, synthetic herbicides, or systemic fungicides.
Vineyard Practices: The estate works in complete harmony with Abruzzo's natural ecosystem, utilizing hand-harvesting, natural cover crops between vine rows to maintain soil health, and minimal sulphur additions during vinification.
