Torre Zambra

Torre Zambra represents an authentic excellence of Abruzzo oenology. Its history is linked to that of the De Cerchio family who began cultivating their first plot of land in Villamagna in 1910. The official foundation, however, dates back to 1961, by Laurentino De Cerchio. The choice of Villamagna as the beating heart of wine production is no coincidence. This little jewel of Abruzzo's hinterland is blessed with a unique microclimate due to its proximity to both the Adriatic coast and the Majella mountain range, which creates significant temperature excursions between day and night. The vineyards of Torre Zambra are located between 120 and 200 metres above sea level, with limestone-clay soils rich in humus, optimal conditions for the cultivation of native grape varieties such as Pecorino, Passerina and Trebbiano. However, it is Montepulciano that is the real protagonist of its production. The production philosophy of the De Cerchio family is distinguished by its deep respect for the environment. All the vineyards are cultivated according to organic farming principles, an approach that favours respect for natural times and non-invasive techniques. A distinctive element of the winery is the choice of spontaneous fermentation, a process that uses the indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes to create wines that fully reflect the characteristics of the terroir. This method, combined with careful agronomic practices, gives complex and aromatic wines, authentic emotions in the bottle.
