La Torre

The La Torre winery was founded in 1976 by Giuseppe Ananìa, who purchased the La Torre estate from the Ciacci family of Montalcino. Until a few years earlier, the estate had been worked as a farm by sharecroppers, with livestock, cherry trees, wheat and mixed olive trees and vines. While Giuseppe planted the first vineyard, two and a half hectares in area, in 1976, it was up to his son Luigi to expand it in 1999 by another three hectares. Now the vineyard totals about five and a half hectares and surrounds the house on the south and west.
