The La Tordela winery is
located in the municipality of Torre de’ Roveri, at the heart of
the Valcalepio winemaking region. The first historical
documentation of the estate (of which a beautiful plan is
preserved in the winery) dates back to 30th March
1790. The estate possesses 20 hectares of vineyards on the hills
between the Serradesca valley and the Torre de’ Roveri basin
surrounding the winery where the proprietor’s house is situated.
The house was built in the 16th century and the
facades were embellished in the late 18th century.
The recently-renovated cellar is fitted with
modern stainless steel vats which enable us to produce wines of
exceptional elegance and structure, after careful selection of
the grapes and fermentation at a controlled temperature. The
ageing and maturing area is especially important: it is equipped
with French Allier oak barriques and 20hl barrels. The La
Tordela winery currently makes Bergamo I.G.T. Merlot, Cabernet
and Pinot bianco wines, and D.O.C. Valcalepio wines of the three
types – white, red and moscato passito.
Valcalepio Rosso Riserva is only made in
particularly favourable years.
The winery also has a farm, with a flock of giant Bergamo sheep
and a boar farm.
