In 1948, the Liantonio family acquires, in the “Torrevento” district, right at the foot of the famous Castel del Monte, the old Benedictine monastery with the surrounding 57 hectares of vineyard. Two years later, Gaetano Liantonio inherits the estate, renovates it and continues the produc-tion activity by creating a rustic wine cellar called Vinicola Torrevento (Torrevento Winery), which in 1989, together with Francesco Liantonio (current President and CEO) grows into a business enterprise.
Awarded the “3 Bicchieri” (3 Glasses) prize by Gambero Rosso for eight consecutive years, this wine is obtained from single-variety vinification of Nero di Troia grapes cultivated in Contrada Pedale. It presents a splendid and intense ruby colour and full bouquet, with hints of red berries. Aged in large barrels for 14 months.
