Podere Della Torre
Our origins of winemakers have along history, in the early twentieth century the first company was born on the current land, the address was purely olive and zootechnical, the first evolution was in the post-war period with the planting of the first vineyards with grape varieties from table and wine to go definitively to the wine grapes and their wine making in the ’70s. Producing wine in a natural way is the most important and determining goal, guaranteed by deep respect for our land and our traditions.
Thanks to the wise teaching of those who preceded us in this profession, the interventions and the workings never compromise the peculiarities that the earth and nature give us every year. Our wines come exclusively from our vineyards, in the most complete guarantee of traceability
Abruzzo
Italy is seldom known for the simplicity of its wines, yet the ruggedly mountainous region of Abruzzo offers an abundance of delightful, uncomplicated wines that tend to represent good value.
The region has three main, historical DOCs, including the red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and white Trebbiano d’Abruzzo. The third DOC Controguerra is also for wines based on Montepulciano and other native grapes. Not to be confused with the town in Tuscany whose exceptional Vino Nobile is also gaining international recognition, the Montepulciano grape has gained a substantial following for its fruit-forward, complex yet approachable reds.
Some of the best wines come from the Teramo area, where a single DOCG exists for Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane, while some classic rosé wines – known as Cerasuolo - are now offered under their own DOC appellation. The new Abruzzo DOC has several interesting, high-quality sub-zones for Montepulciano wines, such as Terre di Casauria, Terre dei Vestini and Alto Tirino.
The Trebbiano grape is best known for dry, light and easy drinking wines with subtle citrus flavours. However some interesting wines are being developed from the "authentic" Trebbiano d’Abruzzo grape, which some think to be related to Apulia’s Bombino Bianco. They are capable of developing in bottle for a few years into wines of great character and complexity.
