Azienda Agricola Innocenzo Turco has its roots in a deep love for wine that began in childhood, fostered in the cellar—a place of mystery and wonder where everything seemed to happen. This passion has grown and solidified over time, driving a commitment to wine production that is shared by the entire family and dedicated collaborators. Every bottle is meticulously handled, from filling and corking to cleaning, labeling, encapsulating, and packing, all done with the utmost care and dedication. The winery's life revolves around the production of its wines throughout the year, with La Granaccia as the crowning jewel. The cellar, dating back to 1898, retains its original charm with cozy dimensions, vaulted niches, and a labyrinthine structure. In 2006, the cellar was renewed, combining modern equipment with traditional practices, creating a workspace where the pace is measured and deliberate, much like the careful process of winemaking itself. The winery is a place where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of work, and everything is done with a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to quality. The structure itself, with its cool, refreshing climate in the summer and crisp, piercing air in the winter, serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between the land, the wine, and those who dedicate their lives to its production.
