Ours is a story that began in black and white, in a distant time when Salento lived the essentiality of simple things. The passion for tending the vineyards and the attention to the production of quality Salento wines are the same that animated the farmers of Leverano who, sixty years ago, gave a name and a shape to their collective dream.

Varietali

The Apulian wines are characterized by the uniqueness of the vines and the excellence of the grapes. The valuable organoleptic properties are given above all by the peculiarities of a versatile territory: Negroamaro, Primitivo, Malvasia, Chardonnay and Vermentino are the vines that give life to our monovarietal wines.

Riserve

The aging in French barriques and the particular winemaking process make the Cantina Vecchia Torre reserves important wines to give as a gift or to be enjoyed on the occasion of events or special moments.

Excellences

The name itself says it all: those wines that are distinguished by vinification and tasting notes are excellent. The excellences of our Cellar represent the flagship of a production oriented towards quality at all levels.

D.O.P.

Our DOP wines reflect the essence of a fertile, welcoming and full of energy territory: Salento. The increasing attention to Apulian wines from sector experts and foreign buyers has encouraged us to expand our offer, always keeping our standards high.

SWEET WINE

Salento wines with a soft and sweet taste: Cantina Vecchia Torre sweet wines glide from the palate to the heart, cheering up an informal meal in good company.

SPARKLING WINE

Special occasions deserve special bubbles. Our sparkling wines crown happy anniversaries by framing the emotions between the beauty of a smile and the sincerity of a Salento wine.

HO.RE.CA.

Our wines are also on the market in hotels, restaurants and trattorias: some bottles differ in the graphics of the labels from that of the wines for large-scale distribution. Different style, same quality.

NOVELLO

Reborn, every year, forever. The Vecchia Torre new wine tells the passion of the last harvest, bringing to the table the authenticity of a timeless tradition.
