Marsovin has launched its new range of La Torre wines. These wines were launched at Hastings Gardens in Valletta by the chairman of Din L-Art Helwa, Martin Galea.
La Torre is a range of wines dedicated to the towers originally built by the Knights of the order of St. John. The range consists of seven wines, Chardonnay-Girgentina, Gellewza-Shiraz, Girgentina, Trebbiano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. The wine labels feature towers which have been restored by Din L-Art Helwa.
Marsovin had never previously produced a mono varietal wine from its indigenous varieties, Girgentina and Gellewza. This range aims at promoting these varieties as they can only be found in Malta, Marsovin Director Jeremy Cassar said.
Marsovin has come to an agreement with Din L-Art Helwa whereby it will donate a sum of money from the sale of every bottle of La Torre. Din L-Art Helwa will in turn use the money to restore more towers. Any tourists visiting the towers will be able to buy the wine from some of the towers.
