Agriloro – 2024 Award Winning Wines from the Ticino

Meinrad C. Perler, born in 1937 and son of a farmer from the Canton Fribourg, came to the Canton Ticino in 1981, where he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to the wine-making trade, and purchased the “Tenimento dell Or”. The estate, mentioned in scripts from the 1800s give account of an important vinery in the region, was brought back to its original utilization. Following the acquisition, the re-planting of the grapes started, at first in the traditional method of the region. Soon the passion of the owner, for experimentation and innovation set foot in the winery. The grapes and the wine-making adheres to natural methods as far as possible and respect to nature.

In 2024 Robert Parker's prestigious Wine Advocate magazine recently awarded three of Agriloro's wines: the Sottobosco Rosso del Ticino, the Merlot Riserva Tenimento La Prella and the Merlot Riserva Tenimento dell Ör. Also in 2024 Agriloro won the Sommeliers Choice Awards.
