Torrevento Ottagono

A robust Pugliese with the typical warmth and ripeness that characterize southern Italy — dark, dense and with the necessary backbone for hearty dishes.

Torrevento is one of the most famous wineries in Apulia. The Cantina Social in Corato, at the foot of the Murge plateau, exclusively processes indigenous grape varieties from the region — including Nero di Troia, Primitivo and Negroamaro — and has significantly contributed to giving Apulian red wines international acclaim.

The Ottagono displays a deep ruby ​​red color with violet reflections in the glass. The nose offers aromas of dark blackberry, plum, and a hint of dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied with soft tannins, noticeable warmth, and a lingering finish with spicy notes.

Torrevento

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.
