This year La Torricella will enrich the range of white wines with a Riesling Renano. They will also add to their selection a Spumante made from Dolcetto grapes. Wine expert Silvia Pressenda, who studied at the wine university of Alba, is in charge of the vineyards, wine cellar and the wine editing. She works with her brother Oscar Pressenda. In 2010 the family Pressenda opened an Agriturismo with eight fabulous rooms, a swimming pool and a gourmet restaurant managed by Alessandra Pressenda and her husband, Fransesco Celia.
