Torrevento is born in an ancient stone monastery of the 1600’s, in the heart of the Alta Murgia National Park and at the foot of the monument that gives origin to the DOC and DOCG of the territory: the famous Castel del Monte (Federico II Svevia), unique in the world for its majestic shape octagonal. The winery is owned by the Liantonio family and originated in 1913, from a distant and emotional story of emigration to America that in 1948 led to the purchase of the entire property in Contrada “Torre del Vento”, consisting of the ancient monastery used as a cellar with 57ha of vineyards. Today Torrevento controls a 500 hectare vineyard area in Puglia, enhancing the native grapes of the area and with a production philosophy based on Sustainability, Research and Quality.  Torrevento as “Ambassador of the wines of Puglia in the world” is the company mission. In a perfect union between innovation and tradition, the winery pursues a development plan that has always been founded on research and quality, for the production of a range of wines that are fully representative of the areas of Castel del Monte, Salento and Primitivo.   Torrevento wines, obtained from the native vines of Nero di Troia, Bombino Bianco and Nero, Aglianico, Moscato, Primitivo and Negroamaro are proposed as modern interpreters of ancient Apulian traditions, the result of a combination of factors: favorable microclimate, nature of the territory, selection varietal, winery technology and quality control
