A great Primitivo!
Heavy, dark wine, complex and yet flattering, almost gentle, wonderful for social toasts as well as for our favorite meal, fillet steak with gratin. This wine is clearly worth its price.

Since 1913 Primitivo Puglia
Deep ruby red with violet highlights — the Since 1913 Primitivo shows in the glass what Apulia can do: sun-ripened fruit, warmth and substance.
Torrevento has been cultivating vineyards on the Murgia plateau north of Bari in Apulia for over a century. The high altitude results in cooler nights than in the lower-lying Salento region, which slows down ripening and brings more acidity to the wines. The name says it all: founded in 1913, it is now one of the region's most important producers.
On the nose, ripe black cherry, plum, and a hint of blackberry jam, underpinned by subtle spice notes. Full-bodied on the palate, with soft, rounded tannins and a pleasantly long finish. Fruity and warm, but not heavy—the alcohol is well integrated. Luca Maroni awarded 96 points to the 2019 vintage, and it received Grand Gold at Mundus Vini.
Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with pasta al ragù, grilled lamb chops, or spicy pecorino cheese . Also a reliable companion on its own as an evening wine. Drink now or cellar until 2026.

Quick answers
How does the Since 1913 Primitivo taste?
Full-bodied and fruit-warm, without seeming heavy: ripe black cherry, plum, and a hint of blackberry jam, plus subtle spice notes. The tannins are soft and round, the finish pleasantly long. The 14.5% alcohol is well-integrated.
What does the wine pair best with?
Classically with pasta al ragù, grilled lamb chops, or salsiccia. It also makes a good impression with braised game, goose, or spicy Pecorino and Caciocavallo — and works pure as an uncomplicated evening wine.
At what temperature should I serve the Primitivo?
Ideally at 16–18 °C — i.e., slightly chilled, but not cold. Briefly placing it in the fridge from a warm room is sufficient.
What distinguishes this Primitivo from a typical Salento Primitivo?
Torrevento cultivates on the Murgia plateau north of Bari — the altitude brings cooler nights, slower ripening, and thus more acidity structure than many lower-lying Apulian wines. This makes it somewhat fresher and less bulky.
How do I best store the bottle?
Lying down, dark, and at a constantly cool temperature — ideally between 12 and 16 °C. Keep an opened bottle well-sealed in the fridge and drink within two to three days.
The Winery
Torrevento from Corato in Apulia bears its name for a good reason: "Tower of the Wind" – because it is the constant wind over the Alta Murgia that gives the vines natural ventilation and has given the winery its identity for generations.
The history of the Liantonio family begins in 1913, when the grandfather of the current president Francesco Liantonio emigrated to New York at the age of 16, returned in 1923, and in 1948 acquired a 17th-century Baroque Benedictine monastery along with 57 hectares of vineyards.
Today, Torrevento manages 500 hectares throughout Apulia and is considered one of the most consistent advocates of autochthonous grape varieties such as Nero di Troia, Primitivo, and Negroamaro. Multiple Gambero Rosso awards with the Tre Bicchieri prove that this standard arrives in the bottle.
