Torri Cantine
Aug 21, 2023
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 favorable 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.
Torri Cantine, producers of organic wine in Abruzzo for 60 years, has always made the respect for nature and for the land its priority.
