Founded in 1966 in the wake of Abruzzo’s best wine-making tradition, the winery is now writing a new story, without forgetting the roots that gave life to its history and that have enabled it to produce a wide range of fine wines over the years.
The radiant vine-covered hills of Torri Cantine express an infinite variety of scents and all the colours of the earth warmed by the sun.
The Torri Cantine vineyards extend over 60 hectares in the municipalities of Colonnella, Controguerra and Torano, in the province of Teramo, from 100 to 300 meters above sea level. The favourable climatic conditions and the generous soil, together with the patient and scrupulous work in the vineyard and in the cellar, have made it possible to obtain wines of great value.
With these premises and proud of its roots, Torri Cantine writes a new story, based on full respect for nature and the fruit that gives life to the wine, on innovative ideas in constant ferment and on excellence without compromise. These are the values that underlie the new labels, full expression of the quality and peculiarities of our precious terroir.
Producers of organic wine and working in Abruzzo for over 60 years, Torri Cantine has always made the respect for nature and for the territory its priority.
The wine originates from one of the most suitable areas of Abruzzo for growing wine, from an old vineyard trained with the Tendon-system, at an ideal altitude to ensure a formidable thermal excursion and with a magnificent exposure.
Bakán DOC Riserva is produced in Ancarano and Controguerra, in the province of Teramo. It derives from a fifty-year-old vine, at an altitude of 290 meters above sea level and with a splendid south-south-east exposure.
100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes, harvested by hand in the second half of October, in an Abruzzi Pergola training system and from certified organic farming.
The wine-making process happens in temperature-controlled steel vats, and at the end of malolactic fermentation, the wine rests in cement vats for 6 months, then matures in used barriques for a further 12 months and refines in the bottle for at least another 6.
