Torrevento
Located in northwestern Murgia, it was a former monastery in stone, built in the eighteenth century in the town of “Torrevento”, acquired together with the surrounding land in 1948 by the brothers Francesco and Domenico Liantonio who started a wine business. In the background, Castel del Monte, symbol of the product.
Winemaking techniques always more and more sophisticated (such as temperature-controlled fermentation), a careful varietal selection of the grapes, passion and much professionalism have allowed the firm Azienda Torrevento, originally a wine cellar of rural characteristics, to become, in the nineties one of the most important companies in the industry, allowing the Torrevento brand to obtain numerous awards. Innovation and Tradition, because the whole business is carried out, from the vineyards to the wineries, to a final product that will arrive on the tables around the world, is set up on the most rigorous respect and recovery of the local wine-making tradition, a central element of corporate policies, to which is added an intelligent distribution among wine bars and specialty shops.
The suggestion of the territory and of the eighteenth-century monastery can become fascinating trips to the discovery of ancient cultural and wine and gastronomic traditions.
We offer guided tours to our stone cellars, to the ancient barn, now an exhibition and tasting room, the chapel and the manor house.
Torrevento, because of its unique position, is an ideal starting point for visitors who decide to explore the territory of the high Murgia.
