The winery "Le Torri" is the perfect place for those who want to spend their holiday and relaxing moments in touch with a fascinating nature and for those who would like to taste high-quality oil and wines. Our estate is located in the heart of Tuscany, halfway between the beautiful cities of Florence and Siena.
This is also the perfect setting for travellers interested in the relationship between human beings and nature. Just for the respect for the surrounding and feeding nature we installed a photovoltaic module. Through the sun, an important renewable energy, we produce enough electric energy for ourselves and we reduce thus our environmental impact.
It is surrounded by hills, medieval villages and an unique landscape which you will hardly forget... The farmhouse started its activity in 1980, when some friends, although they worked in different fields, showed a common interest in making wine and olive oil in such a beautiful place. Their passion, attention and care in facing this new challenge, led them to aim for high-quality products. Their commitments, together with important improvements to structures and to machines contributed to them reaching their goal. Recently the business has further expanded the activity with a beautiful agritourismo (B&B) within the compound, in old refurbished farmhouses dating back to '700, that can welcome till up 40 guests. .
VINEYARDS
The vineyards cover an area of 28 ha, which is particularly suitable for grapes growing due to its climate and altitude (300-350 metres above sea level). The vines are laid out in a way that allows them to make the most of the sun and the good weather in general. The vineyards consist mainly of Sangiovese (of several different varieties), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Canaiolo, Colorino, Chardonnay, and Riesling Italico, all of them in a number of varieties.
The plants are laid out diametrically up to 6,250 plants per ha. Our cultivation methods, totally respect our main objective: the quality of the grapes. It means short pruning and well-balanced fertilisation; some leaves are removed, so that more air and sunshine can reach through to the bunches of grapes.
Since 2004, the company has worked in collaboration with the Wine Making of Roberto Cipresso, providing enological and agronomical consultation, an additional guarantee of the finest quality both for the grapes and the wines!
The estate covers an area of 103 hectares. In our vineyards we have different varieties of grapes such as Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Canaiolo, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Riesling italico.
