Tenuta Torre Raone was founded in 1997 when the farmer Luciano, originally from Tollo, decided to buy a 35-hectare farm and immediately managed it with a cultivation of vines and olive trees under organic farming, certified by the ICEA society . The great passion for wine is closely linked to the desire to enhance native vines, thus producing elegant wines with character.

Tenuta Villa della Rosa is a winery, founded in Villamagna, a small medieval village, located 10 km from the white beaches of the Adriatic Sea and 10 km from the snow-capped peaks of the Majella mountain massif. Our philosophy comes from tradition, which has handed down to us the cultivation of roses in the vineyards, as a practice used since ancient times. The rose, an extremely sensitive plant, positioned at the beginning of the rows, monitors the health of the vine and helps the winemaker monitor and protect the vineyard, detecting any pathologies and encouraging rapid intervention. The uniqueness of our production lies in the craftsmanship of each step. In fact, each bottle is numbered and prepared individually by hand until the dried rose is positioned.Tenuta Villa della Rosa is a winery, founded in Villamagna, a small medieval village, located 10 km from the white beaches of the Adriatic Sea and 10 km from the snow-capped peaks of the Majella mountain massif.

AZIENDA AGRICOLA BARONE CORNACCHIA
(Winery in Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €30.00
The commercial farm ‘Azienda Agricola Barone Cornacchia’ is among the oldest wineries in the province of Teramo. The land tenure was established at the end of the 16th century by the feudal concession of the viceroy of Naples and with the appointment of a barony title. At that time the Baroni Cornacchia family dwelt in the Fortress of Civitella and controlled the fiefs situated on the north-eastern border of the Bourbon kingdom. At the end of the 19th century, with the Unification of Italy and after a long period of battles, the Cornacchia family had to leave the Fortress of Civitella and retreated to the hunting reserve where the present company is located. This area has always had a vocation for viticulture and grapevine has always been cultivated. Barone Filippo Maria Vizzarro Cornacchia (1872-1944) restored and handed down this old viticultural tradition. After the devastating infestation of phylloxera that spread all over Italy at the beginning of the 20th century, Barone Filippo Vizzarro Cornacchia selected the ancient clones to replant and graft all vineyards using American rootstocks. At the beginning of the 20th century, he started to produce ‘Montepulciano d’Abruzzo’ wine and used it to participate in national competitions, receiving the first official awards [ 1932 – 1933 ]. Today the company is led by Filippo and Caterina Cornacchia who have been able to achieve the organic certification of the company and of the products and to introduce new wines such as the ‘Controguerra DOC Passerina Villa Torri’, the ‘Pecorino Villa Torri IGT Colli Aprutini’ as well as the ‘Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Colline Teramane DOCG Vizzarro’ (devoted to the founder of the company: Barone Filippo Maria Vizzarro Cornacchia). This wine was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Oenological Competition ‘Vinitaly’, in 2007.
