Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

The Profile:

An intense, deep ruby-garnet colour opening with opulent aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry compote, leather, and dark cocoa, complemented by refined hints of sweet tobacco and toasted oak. The palate is broad, rich, and full-bodied, delivering dense dark fruit flavors supported by structured, velvety tannins and a long, warming finish. *

Classic Pairings:

Prime Florentine T-bone steak, braised venison, wild boar ragù, or extra-aged Pecorino and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses.

Irish Favourite Pairings

  • Chipper Garlic Dip & Pepperoni Pizza / Chips: The wine’s rich dark fruit and oak spice balance the creamy garlic dip and salty pepperoni, while its full body pairs perfectly with the hearty pizza crust and chips.
  • Pan-Seared Venison Fillet with Blackberry Reduction: A refined pairing where the lean, gamey venison works beautifully with the wine’s structured tannins, while the dark berry flavours complement the sweet blackberry sauce.

Vivino Recognition: Holds an outstanding rating among international wine lovers, placing it securely in the Top 3% of all wines in the world on Vivino.  

How the wine is made

Crafted from old, low-yielding Montepulciano vines situated nearly 300 meters above sea level in the Teramo hills, benefiting from dramatic temperature swings between the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso mountain range. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested at peak maturity, strictly sorted, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with extended skin maceration to extract intense colour and structured tannins. The wine then undergoes an extended aging period, spending 18 to 24 months in fine French oak barrels followed by extended resting in the bottle before release to achieve perfect balance and complexity.

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.
