" We don't sell the wine without touching the vine "
Wine from Cantine Tornatore
Filter
A long story - of love and passion, of knowledge and respect for places - which has lasted for over a century and a half , since Francesco Tornatore's great-grandfather began farming back in 1865. The Tornatore family has continued, from generation to generation, in the path traced then, developing agricultural activity without ever neglecting the attachment and respect towards the traditions and the territory in which they have their roots.
Located on the fertile northern slopes of Etna, the Tornatore company boasts 100 hectares of lush land, with the largest extension of vineyards in the Etna Doc area , olive groves and hazelnut groves. Representing Sicilian excellence and tradition, our company grows native varieties in historic districts, combining traditional methods and modern technologies to produce superior quality wines. Our passion for wine is reflected in every bottle, celebrating the uniqueness of the Etna area.
Founded in 1865 by Francesco Tornatore's great-grandfather , the company has been carrying on a winemaking tradition that has its roots in the fertile lands of Etna for over 150 years . In 1910, grandfather Giuseppe consolidated the family business by building a millstone in the Piano Fiera district, marking the beginning of an expansion that would encompass other precious lands on the northern side of Etna. Our profound knowledge of the territory , enriched by decades of experience and passed down from generation to generation , allows us today to look to the future with the certainty of those who have always known how to respect the land and its traditions, continuing our commitment to excellence and innovation in the world of wine.
Making wine under the volcano is not easy, yet, for those who succeed, it is the most rewarding thing there is. The Tornatore company is located on the fertile northern side of Etna, whose lands, caressed by significant temperature variations due to the proximity of the Nebrodi Mountains, are home to vines that sink into an unrepeatable terroir , shaped by the activity of the highest volcano in Europe. The magical combination of terroir, climate and production knowledge makes the northern side of Etna an ideal territory for the production of unique wines of exceptional complexity and sensorial richness.

Ruby red with soft purplish reflections. Rich and complex on the nose, very reminiscent of small fruits of brambles, black cherry and a very delicate hint of softwood. On the palate it is decisive, complex and extraordinarily persistent.
Review:
Complex aromas of ripe fruit, toffee, cedar and smoke. Medium body, round and creamy tannins and a fresh, juicy finish.

The Special Club concept started in 1971. A dozen wine growers from some old families of Champagne had an idea to familiarize people with the originality of the “Champagne de Vigneron” (Champagne of wine grower), thanks to prestigious vintages.
In the beginning, they created an association called the “Club des Viticulteurs Champenois” and chose a bottle with a special shape, created exclusively for them & used only by then. In 1988, they changed the bottle and the label. In 1999, the Club changed its name to “Club Trésor of Champagne.”
The Club Trésors comprises 28 artisan wine makers, selected from the finest areas of the Champagne region, each one recognized for the quality of their work. The Club Trésors is the only organization in Champagne to select its members according to a set of unrelenting quality standards:
- Each wine maker must make their champagnes entirely in his, or her, own premises and cellars. Furthermore, the champagne must be made exclusively from grapes harvested in his, or her, own vineyards.
- Each wine maker is devoted to his work and passionately protects the quality and the unique character of his own terroir.
- The jury of oenologists and wine professionals who select the champagnes demand irreproachable quality in both the work in the vineyard and the wines.
- Each champagne is subject to two blind tastings (once at the still wine stage before bottling and again after 3 years ageing in bottle) by a panel of passionate and distinguished oenologists and wine makers. 4 years aging minimum is required.
- A Special Club champagne may only be made in outstanding vintage years.
Roland Champion's Special Club selection has rich and structured aromas. Very pleasant and generous roundness, nice length in mouth. Golden color with buttery and fruity aromas. All the expression of a magnificent terroir for your most pleasurable moments.
A tribute to the family patriarch, Henry Trione, this deep red wine is an artful blend of the five classic Bordeaux varieties: 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. Cabernet Sauvignon forms the base structure and Merlot contributes fruit flavors and velvety texture; the Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot add depth, color and spice. We harvested the fully ripe grapes from select blocks on three Trione ranches in Alexander Valley, just ahead of early rains.
Winemaker Notes:
Aromas of black currants, blackberry pie and warm spices are the wine’s first impressions. On the palate Henry’s Blend is soft and supple, a seamless integration of ripe fruit, French oak and fine-grained tannins. Delicious now, the solid structure and abundant fruit suggest this wine will age well for 6–7 years with proper cellaring.
