Torcilacqua - (Italy)
Matteo Mariotti took over the Torcilacqua company in June 2018 after having worked for many years in the family business. Born in 1979, married and with two daughters, he decided to pursue his dream and produce wine! A passion that was born as a boy and which today has finally materialized in our Torcilacqua wines. The company is located in Badia a Passignano, in the heart of Chianti Classico with a view of the surrounding vineyards and woods. The property extends in a single body on the south, south-west side of the hill, in front of the historic abbey at an average altitude of 350m above sea level. The perfect exposure, the microclimatic conditions of the area and the balanced texture of the soil allow us to obtain grapes of the highest quality for the production of wines with great structure. The vineyards have an average age of 20 years, and the forms of pruning adopted are guyot and spurred cordon. The average plant density per hectare is 5,000 plants. The varieties cultivated at the moment are Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with which three distinct wines are produced.
