Torrevento was founded within an ancient stone monastery dating back to the 1600s, in the heart of the Alta Murgia National Park, at the foot of the iconic monument that gives rise to the DOC and DOCG designations of the area: the famous Castel del Monte built by Frederick II of Swabia, renowned worldwide for its unique octagonal shape.
The winery is owned by the Liantonio family and traces its origins back to 1913, rooted in a compelling family history of emigration to America. In 1948, this journey led to the purchase of the entire estate in Contrada “Torre del Vento,” including the historic monastery converted into a winery and 57 hectares of vineyards.
Today, Torrevento manages approximately 500 hectares of vineyards across Puglia, focusing on the enhancement of the region’s native grape varieties. Its production philosophy is based on sustainability, research, and quality.
