The story of Torrevento begins in the heart of the Alta Murgia National Park, Italy's first rural park, where the close connection between man and nature is central and where traditions go hand in hand with human activity and the environment. In 1948, the Liantonio family acquired the old Benedictine monastery and the 57 hectares of surrounding vineyards. Two years later, Gaetano Liantonio inherited the estate, renovated it, and continued production by creating a traditional wine cellar called Vinicola Torrevento.
The Nero di Troia Riserva Ottagono from Torrevento is an excellent wine, thanks to its ripeness from 100 percent Nero di Troia grapes. Harvesting is carried out with care, with quality paramount. The wine is refined in oak barrels and barriques at the winery for approximately 18 months. Finally, the wine is aged for a further period in cement tanks and bottled.
The Ottagono Nero di Troia Castel del Monte Riserva from Torrevento is a powerful ruby-red wine with purple highlights and an impressive aroma of ripe berries, interwoven with hints of Mediterranean herbs and subtle notes of licorice and dark spices. At first sip, the wine is full-bodied and harmonious, with dense tannins and an expressive, pleasantly long finish. This is the perfect accompaniment to savory red meat dishes.
