Producer Il Torchio

LIGURIA

ll Torchio is a young family-run business located in Castelnuovo Magra, in the province of La Spezia. The winery that was born from an initiative of Giorgio Tendola, precursor and forerunner of the cultivation and enhancement of Vermentino in the Colli di Luni, who passed away a few years ago. Today at the helm we find her grandchildren, Gilda and Edward, who in the wake of the deep-rooted family traditions have chosen to continue along the path traced by the same Giorgio, bringing forward the design approach and intent. Gilda, with a degree in law, is responsible for the commercial and administrative aspects, while Edoardo is in charge of production, assisted by his uncle Claudio Musetti and Alessandro Chesi. 12 hectares of vineyards farmed organically, all gathered in a single plot, and all fall under the designation of origin "Colli di Luni", planted with Vermentino, Canaiolo, Merlot and Sangiovese. In the cellar we try to intervene as little as possible with spontaneous fermentations and more or less long macerations in order to have very territorial wines enhanced by the lively and imaginative labels by Francesco Musante.
