Pietratorcia wine cellar Ischia

The cellars of Pietratorcia among the best Italian wine producers, were born in Forio, on the western side of the Island, thanks to the efforts of young enthusiasts who wanted to continue to enhance the traditions of old island families, Iacono, Regine and Verde. 

 

The old family cellars were renovated and equipped, the 7 acres of land were selected with vines and today, thanks to the assistance of the technicians of the prestigious Institute of San Michele, fine wines are prepared in small productions want to recover the great calling that wine ages in the public tearing of Ischia have created the soil on the slopes of Epomeo.
