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.
Another protagonist in the exciting array of value wines offered by Puglia’s Torrevento winery. The wine only sees contact with stainless steel vats and boasts a pretty ensemble of primary fruit aromas as aresult. Beyond the wild berry and bitter cherry aromas are earthy notes of beets, black olive and terracotta. The wine is nicely intense, rustic and authentic.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with marked purple glints. On the nose intense, full and fragrant bouquet, with notes of raspberries and blueberries. Full, with a great body, robust, with sweet tannic notes.
