Molvina Wine

Molvina Wine is the result of our father and son partnership and hard work: we share a mutual passion for high quality wine and for keeping family and Italian artisan traditions alive. Our ancestors Marco and Bortolo Torri, two brothers, purchased a house, forest and agricultural land in the village of Molvina, in 1911. Bortolo restored the old vines and began to produce wine. Much of it was consumed on the spot by the workers of the nearby Botticino marble quarries: these workers after work, but before returning home,(all on foot, in those times of cars there were not so many) stopped to eat bread salami cheeses and drink wine. When Bortolo passed away, he left the land to his two sons. The younger of the two, Domenico Torri (our grandfather), carried on working in the vineyard and continued to produce wine to satisfy the local passer-by demand. However, consumption on site started to fade in modern times, as there were no longer quarrymen on foot who use the Molvina road to go to work: so wine started to be sold also in bottles for offsite consumption. Our grandfather Domenico (born in 1928) then retired, so in 2007 we took over the family artisan business and after numerous sacrifices and a lot of hard work we gave new life to the old vineyards (with rows perpendicular to the ground to give maximum sun exposure to the grapes) which is when Molvina Ronchi di Brescia Rosso in its current form was born.
