Il Torchio Specialities: White wine

Six hectares of vineyards all close together, starting at the bottom and reaching halfway up the hill, at the foot of the village of Castelnuovo Magra (Sp). The winery belonged to Giorgio Tendola, grandfather of the current young owners Gilda and Edoardo Musetti. After his death, the two siblings decided to retire it and go on producing wine. They literally rolled up their sleeves and divided the tasks: Gilda, a law graduate, is responsible for the commercial and administrative side but also for the care in the vineyard, while Edo, as he is called in the family, takes care of production and the field!

For some time now, Giulia, a talented vigneron who helps out in all stages of production, has also been part of the team.

Vineyards overlooking the sea

The history of Il Torchio goes back a long way, in fact the winery was established in the 1970s by Giorgio Tendola, our grandfather and a true pioneer of the Colli di Luni.

We have six hectares of vineyards with a west/south-west exposure, cultivated with Vermentino, Moscato and Sauvignon for the white varieties and black Vermentino, Sangiovese, Merlot with some Canaiolo and Syrah for the red ones.

In Castelnuovo Magra, in the province of La Spezia, on a tongue of land squeezed between the sea and the mountains, you can come and visit us: we are an aggregation of free people who have decided to make a wine journey together.
