About the Winery
Cantina Tollo wines are rooted in a territory with
an ancient wine-producing tradition and in an ideal microclimate unique in the
world characterised by mild sea breezes and cool currents coming in from the Maiella (mountain range).
Cantina Tollo was set up in 1960, twenty local people set up a collective with
the objective of providing a Cantina for the grapes of the local farmers. They
were mostly small farmers with a tiny patch of land to their credit. Today, Cantina
Tollo continues to provide true expression of both fruit and appellation.
