NUANCES OF MONTEPULCIANO
TENUTA TORRE RAONE
Experience information
This tour includes a full immersion in the Organic world. During the walk through the vineyards of the Torre Raone Estate, we will recount the company's philosophy that led from the beginning to the choice of organic, certified cultivation, which aims to respect and enhance the natural products of the territory. The wildlife that reigns over the territory, will be our traveling companion.
In the winery after the story about the production, we will taste 4 glasses, shades of our Montepulciano d'Abruzzo: from cerasuolo, to classic line, to riserva and finally with the selection "Terre dei Vestini" (future DOCG), accompanied by a selection of typical local cheeses, bread and oil of our production.
And between a glass of wine, an anecdote and a bite, your gaze will be able to get lost in the vastness of the rolling hills that surround us, embraced by the snow-capped mountains of Gran Sasso and Majella.

Host information
The Torre Raone winery is located in the municipality of Loreto Aprutino, an area with a vocation for viticulture. It is situated on the gentle hillsides, 350 m above sea level, halfway between the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso National Park, which favor a perfect microclimate for grape growing.
The Torre Raone estate was established in 1997 when farmer Luciano, a native of Tollo, decided to buy a 35-hectare farm and immediately allocate it to the cultivation of vines and olives under organic farming, certified by the ICEA. The great passion for wine is closely linked to the desire to enhance native grape varieties, thus producing elegant wines with character.
Since 2014 Dante, the winery's winemaker, has followed all stages of production, from the maniacal care of the vines in the vineyard continuing then with careful production in the winery equipped with modern winemaking equipment. The goal is to preserve and enhance the raw material thus producing wines of the highest quality.
