Torri Cantine Bakan Abruzzo Passerina 2021

Founded in 1966 in the wake of Abruzzo’s best wine-making tradition, the winery is now writing a new story, without forgetting the roots that gave life to its history and that have enabled it to produce a wide range of fine wines over the years.

The radiant vine-covered hills of Torri Cantine express an infinite variety of scents and all the colours of the earth warmed by the sun.

The Torri Cantine vineyards extend over 60 hectares in the municipalities of Colonnella, Controguerra and Torano, in the province of Teramo, from 100 to 300 meters above sea level. The favourable climatic conditions and the generous soil, together with the patient and scrupulous work in the vineyard and in the cellar, have made it possible to obtain wines of great value.

With these premises and proud of its roots, Torri Cantine writes a new story, based on full respect for nature and the fruit that gives life to the wine, on innovative ideas in constant ferment and on excellence without compromise. These are the values that underlie the new labels, full expression of the quality and peculiarities of our precious terroir.

Producers of organic wine and working in Abruzzo for over 60 years, Torri Cantine has always made the respect for nature and for the territory its priority.

The wine originates from one of the most suitable areas of Abruzzo for growing wine, from an old vineyard trained with the Tendon-system, at an ideal altitude to ensure a formidable thermal excursion and with a magnificent exposure.

The Passerina DOC of the Bakán collection originates from an over thirty-year-old vine, in the Controguerra area, in the province of Teramo.

The chosen training system is the Abruzzo pergola system, at an altitude of 290 meters above sea level with magnificent south-south-east exposure.

The strictly manual harvest occurs in the second ten days of September from certified organic cultivation. The vinification takes place in thermo-conditioned steel vats while the 4-months aging occurs in cement tanks before being bottled in the total absence of oxygen.
