TORRE DEI BEATI

The name of the estate derives from the detail of a large 14th century fresco, which adorns the local church of S. Maria in Piano. In the representation of the Judgement Day, the “Tower of the Blessed” (“Torre dei Beati”) is the final goal that souls, who have reached the after-life, strive to gain access to after many efforts and difficult trials.
This parable reflects the inspiration principles of our business, which is based on the desire to express, thanks to extremely careful selections in the vineyard and winery, the best native grapes that we cultivate in this particularly apt area of Loreto Aprutino.

Our family-run winemaking business started in 1999, when we decided to start managing ourselves the vineyard that our father Rocco had been looking after since 1972. Since we believe that it’s impossible to separate the quality of a wine from its naturalness, we immediately converted the vineyard to organic farming and our first bottle came onto the market in 2000.
We expanded the first original production unit, located on the ground floor of the old farmhouse at the centre of the estate, with a cellar for the ageing of wines and a new winery.
At the same time we increased our range of products by studying significant interpretations on the theme of Montepulciano and then also planting new Pecorino and Trebbiano grapes, the most interesting traditional white varieties of this region.
All our wines are made from grapes harvested on our own vineyards.

We only make wine
with grapes harvested in our own vineyards

The winery

The grapes, selected thanks to gradual harvesting into 20 kilos cases, are immediately brought to the winery, located in the old renovated farmhouse in the middle of the vineyard, where they are selected again on a sorting table, so that only the best are chosen. This process is applied to all grapes used for our wines, so that each category of wine can express the best potential according to the varieties cultivated in this traditionally apt area

In the winery, the most advanced technology is used to achieve a wine making that is traditional and respectful of the naturalness of the organic grapes. The strict selection in the vineyard and at the winery means that only perfectly healthy bunches are used for wine making and allows to obtain a quality wine with the smallest use of preservatives, complying with organic standards, which thus coincides exactly with the ethics of quality.

Fruit of the vine and
of man’s work

Although sometimes winemaker finds himself in the spotlight due to the evocative beauty of his profession, it’s not our style to put on display our work, as old as human kind itself.Nor is it our style to chase the latest fads or boast about our connection to one trend or another.
We don’t do well in pigeonholes invented by others, and opportunism isn’t in our nature.
We just desire to move forward deliberately, one step at a time, in full awareness of the determination and the time that a vineyard demands.
We like to imagine ourselves on a path that has no end, as no end have the changing of the seasons and the vision needed to understand what they have to teach us

The natural winemaker

With the experience we’ve gradually built over the years, we are always curious of both new and old techniques, keeping our ingenuousness and consciousness of our limitations.We work in order to leave our children this land intact and alive, where they may live out that time of life in which their powers are at their height.
