Torre Raone company is located in the town Hall of Loreto Aprutino, an area with a wine-growing vocation. It is located on the gentle hill side, 350 m above sea level, halfway between the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso National Park which favor a perfect microclimate for the cultivation of vines.
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.

VINO DELLA ROSA
(Winery in Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)
Provides 5 wine tastings and winery visit from €30.00
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.

Emidio Pepe
(Winery in Montepulciano d'Abruzzo)
The company was founded in the late nineteenth century when Emidio Pepe, grandfather of the present namesake, found in the Torano hills the ideal terroir for the two main Abruzzo grapes. In 1944 his son, Giuseppe, was already known for the quality of his bulk wine. Twenty years later, it was his son’s turn, today known as Ustì, to inherit the land and the knowledge to raise the Trebbiano and the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo to the test of the bottle.
Since that 1964, the brand “Pepe” has become the symbol of the territorial expression and longevity, thanks to the empirical and tireless activity of Emidio and of his wife Rosa, who gave him three daughters and supported him both in family life and work. The business has been run within the family over the years, never forgetting the traditions and the know-how of the past.
For a long time Emidio’s daughters Daniela and Sofia, with the help of his granddaughter Chiara, have been putting into practice the secrets learned from the parents, to preserve the natural heritage, following the organic way even before the institutional certification and before its trendiness. Today the winery owns 36 acres of land grown following the organic and biodynamic techniques.
