Le Due Torri Farm of Corno di Rosazzo (Udine) is surrounded by greenery, encased to the north by the hills of Collio and, to the south, by the river Judrio, that laps its borders. The 7.8 hectares of vineyard, located on the banks of the river Torre, are characterized by mostly gravelly soils that give the typical characteristics of DOC and IGT wines of the area called "Grave del Friuli".
With passion and dedication, the Volpe family, for years present in the wine industry, has always cared scrupulously their product. The main objective, even today, is quality rather than quantity. Protecting the environment, complying with the rules governing the wine production, capitalizing on the experience without forgetting traditions: those are the basic steps that this company fulfills on a daily basis, to obtain a product of excellence.
Today, experience and the technique are not enough to produce good wine, with qualitative purposes innovation is not enough unless it is accompanied by passion for the land and for work. Since 1990 Antonino Volpe took the reins of the company taking over to his father Salvatore and his mother Dina who, for many years, had taken care of the vineyard, the winery and the farm.
Pride of the Le Due Torri products is Tazzelenghe, a native Friulian red grape variety, almost forgotten for many years, but returned to prominence thanks to some vinegrowers who, with courage, wanted to propose it on the market again. Tazzelenghe, from Friulian "cut–tongue" for its high tannin content, is a product with a strong personality, which amazes with its decided bouquet, thanks to aging in oak barrels. Definitely, a wine that you love or hate, and leaves no room for half–sensations. Wonderful pairing with red meats, game and all those strong flavors that require a full–bodied, decided wine! But the offer by Antonino is not limited to Tazzelenghe. In the company we find Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, a native vine of Friuli, too, like Schioppettino, which along with the most classic Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Nero, complete the range of red varieties. At Le Due Torri there also white varieties like Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia, Verduzzo Friulano, and the classic Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon, winner, the latter, of important national awards.
