Torraccia di Presura is based in a new farm, built up following the rules of the Tuscany country house and respecting the historical architecture style. New equipments and modern technologies on ancient land for a strong motivation to cultivate and to produce in the maximum respect of the local atmosphere. This farm has lands optimally exposed, poor, light, pebbly, where the grape harvests are premature and of great quality: the best guarantees for the high level of produced wines. The wine cellars modernly equipped with inox steel vats (1900 hl) to guarantee the maximum quality and hygiene to the processes and preservation of the wine, while the aging (200 hl) happens in Rovere's barrels. Then wines have a refinig process in glass (bottles) at least 6 months before the distribution.
