Descrizione

The Primitivo di Manduria DOC "Ghenos" from the Torrevento winery represents an excellence of the Apulian territory, the result of a careful selection of the best Primitivo grapes harvested in the historic area of Manduria. The particularity of the soil and the ideal microclimate give this wine unique and unmistakable characteristics.

The color is an intense ruby red with violet reflections that intensify with aging. On the nose, "Ghenos" exhibits a complex and enveloping bouquet, with predominant aromas of ripe red fruits like plums and cherries, enriched with nuances of tobacco, spices, and a delicate touch of vanilla resulting from a slight passage in wood.

On the palate, the wine presents itself as robust and full-bodied, with a well-present tannin that is soft and velvety, harmoniously balanced with good acidity. The finish is persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of warmth and aromatic complexity.

Ideal for accompanying rich and structured dishes, "Ghenos" pairs perfectly with roasts, grilled red meats, and aged cheeses. It is also a wine that can be enjoyed on its own, as a meditation wine, allowing one to appreciate all the organoleptic nuances that characterize it.

Representing the essence of Primitivo di Manduria, this wine from Torrevento is a high-quality product that continues to receive accolades both nationally and internationally, maintaining the high prestige of this denomination.

Winery history

The company's history begins with the Liantonio family. In the post-war period—after the purchase of the ancient monastery in Contrada Torre del Vento—the company began to develop its production; from the 1990s it achieved commercial recognition and promoted the Nero di Troia grape with flagship labels such as Vigna Pedale. Company and industry sources cite key milestones linked to the return from migration, the 1948 acquisition of the tenuta and the entrepreneurial growth of the following decades.

Production philosophy

It combines tradition and innovation to enhance Puglia's indigenous grape varieties, focusing on sustainable practices in both the vineyard and the winery. The company declares its commitment to environmental, economic and ethical-social sustainability and adopts certifications and standards for quality and food safety.

Terroir and vineyards

Operating in the Alta Murgia at the foot of the UNESCO site Castel del Monte, it sources its grapes from three main areas of Puglia: the Castel del Monte area, the Primitivo/central area and southern Salento.

Awards and recognitions

The winery's labels have been honored with significant awards: Vigna Pedale has received, among others, the Tre Bicchieri award and international medals. The winery has also received a Gambero Rosso award for sustainable viticulture.
