THE PIETRTORCIA WINERY

On the outskirts of the town of Forio lies a delightful winery called PIETRATORCIA. Open to the public from April through October, this family run winery offers wine tastings and dinners with a reservation. The tastings run approximately 12euros per person and include delicious appetizers such as bruschetta made with regional tomatoes and locally grown basil, homemade sausages, and olives. Along with freshly made bread from wood-burning ovens, this is one of the best ways to pass a few hours in the afternoon. The grape medley involved is explained by both italian and english speaking servers and sits underneath a grapeleaved pergola overlooking a lush garden and Mount Epomeo in the background. A must for the wine lovers of the world ! Their wine is superb !
