TORREVILLA has been the association of winegrowers that has been a point of reference for viticulture beyond the Po for 114 years. It brings together 200 winemakers who every day, with effort and dedication, dedicate themselves to the cultivation of vines on over 600 hectares of land spread over nine Lombard municipalities. Among the most dynamic realities of Oltrepò Pavese winemaking (about 50,000 quintals of grapes processed each year and an annual production of around 2,500,000 bottles), Torrevilla proudly claims its deep bond with the territory, the centuries-old experience handed down from its father as a son, and the desire to look to the future by investing in technologies and collaborations that make viticulture ever more efficient and sustainable.
