Aquila del Torre

Founding\nAquila del Torre's story began in 1904. At first, the winery owned small vineyards covering up to 5 hectares.\n\n### Expansion\nBy 1922, the total vineyard area had grown to 111 hectares.

The vineyards are located in Savorgnano del Torre, at elevations of 175 to 350 meters above sea level.

The vines are planted in single rows to give the grapes as much sunlight as possible, growing alongside fruit trees including pear, apple, peach, cherry, and plum. The vineyards are farmed organically. All agronomic and farming practices are designed to create a welcoming habitat for insects and improve the surrounding environment, which gives the fruit its distinctive flavor. Grapes are harvested entirely by hand.

After harvest, grapes are taken to a multi-level cellar. A special dry, well-ventilated room is used to dry the grapes. The resulting wines have a characteristic mineral quality and natural freshness. The white wines undergo spontaneous alcoholic fermentation, while malolactic fermentation is prevented.

The winery holds that all agronomic and farming practices should be designed to create a welcoming habitat for insects and improve the surrounding environment, believing this gives the fruit its distinctive flavor.
