Sommelier's Notes

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.


The Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOCG of Cantine Torri originates in the area of Martinsicuro, in the province of Teramo.


The vine is almost fifty years old and grows at an altitude of 290 meters above sea level, extraordinarily exposed to the south-south-east.


100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes, manually selected from the row and harvested around half of October, from certified organic farming.


It is vinified in temperature-controlled steel vats, and at the end of malolactic fermentation, the wine will rest in cement vats for at least 6 months, then mature in large 50hl oak casks for the next 18 months and age in bottles for a further period of no less than 6 months.

It takes some time for this wine to open up and reveal itself. That’s why we recommend opening it a little before enjoying it, at a temperature between 16 and 18 degrees, in a large glass with a wide rim. It is excellent with well-structured and tasty dishes: aperitifs, starters, first courses, vegetarian food, red meat, and medium and long matured cheeses. An Italian-style starter, pasta alla carbonara, barbecued leg of lamb, omelette with livers, or a mature pecorino from Abruzzo. We have paired it with a baked Camembert.
