About Torrevento
Torrevento is based in Puglia and has a strong focus on indigenous varieties, with Nero di Troia among its key grapes. Castel del Monte, around the Murgia plateau, can retain freshness through elevation, calcareous soils and marked temperature shifts. Vigna Pedale is a well-known single-vineyard-style cuvée from the estate.
