Vineyards

Here, between the Grave and the Eastern Hills, we at Le Due Torri cultivate biodiversity. Lapped by the Torre torrent, four hectares of natural wood embrace our vineyards, creating a unique microclimate, and constitute an oasis of indigenous biodiversity. Sixteen varieties of vitis vinifera live there, seven of which are indigenous varieties.

We take care of our historic vineyards with the utmost care: one dates back to the 1920s of the last century, the other was planted in the 1960s. It is the same care and dedication that we reserve for all our vineyards, to ensure a long life: because the old vines give a better wine.

After ten years spent at sea as chief engineer and subsea engineer, Ermanno decided to get back into the game, becoming part of the wine entrepreneurs: respecting the history of a world that has always fascinated him, but without the fear of change and experience the new. At the heart of the project, two clear and strong principles: reflect modernity, referring to tradition; be international, but with solid roots in the territory.
