The cellar is located in the county of Termo, on the sweet hills to the North of Garda.

Winners for 4 generations, the Torboli family decided in 1990 to apply innovative technology to produce “pure” wines, that is additive free.

The history stated in Riva della Garda ( at the time of the Hapsbergs empire) , where Carlo Torboli married Benazzoli Valeria in 1903 and decided to build a building in viale Roma, a building adapted into a Trattoria-hotel with a cellar as part of the building in order "to produce wine for their own clients", this was the objective of

Later on the activity of the son Carlo widened and became the “class 1915” became notorious, that the new wine cellar of Riva in 1961 became famous selling throughout the whole of the world fabulous “VINO SANTO TORBOLI”.

After the premature disappearance of Carlo Torboli, the son Umberto with the crucial collaboration of Alvaro Pezzotti “sales director for almost 50 years” continues with his father’s activity.

Together with his wife Gabriella and his sons Carlo and Christian in 1990 the new cellar was built in Tenno, where they use new technology for production of DR Lavat di Verona, an Italian wine expert who has invented the method for producing pure wine, that is wine without any exterior pollution and without the use of additional chemicals “ sulphur dioxide” (Method).

The idea begun in the seventies and there are essentially two main motives for inspiration:

• The heavy atmospheric pollution that is inevitably transmitted across the atmospheric showers on the grape vines.
• The discovery of the serious harm to human health from sulphur dioxide which directly causes very serious illnesses.

The full awareness that wine should and can find a “natural state”.
