Cantina Tollo Cagiòlo Montepulciano d’Abruzzo DOP Riserva

In central Italy there is fossil evidence of grapevines dating back two million years, but the first traces of agricultural activities oriented to grape cultivation itself date back to the end of the Bronze Age. In Abruzzo, the first evidence of wine production stretches back in pre-Roman times, with funerary pottery unearthed in the monumental cemeteries around L’Aquila.

Cantina Tollo’s star since its debut in 1992. A mature, well-structured wine, highly acclaimed by the market and beyond.

In Cagiòlo, tradition and innovation meet at their finest.
