Torre dei Beati 'Giochermo Con i Fiori' Pecorino, Abruzzo, Italy 2022

The name Torre dei Beati is inspired by a 14th-century fresco in the nearby Santa Maria in Piano church, symbolizing the winery's dedication to expressing the best native grapes of Loreto Aprutino. Founded in 1999, the family-run estate converted to organic farming and now covers 21 hectares, benefiting from the unique climatic conditions provided by its proximity to the Adriatic Sea and the Gran Sasso d’Italia.
