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.
Single-variety Primitivo wine with intense ruby-red colour obtained from grapes originating from the areas of Gioia del Colle and Manduria.
