Excellent wines and hospitality to share our tradition

Since 1946 we have been the guardians and ambassadors of this beautiful part of Puglia. Here we produce wines with a distinct character, revealing the aromas and flavors typical of a region with a strong identity. Our work, made up of passion, dedication and daily joy, is based on sincerity towards consumers, excellence in quality, research and promotion of the area.

Our story-since 1946: An artisan winery must respect nature and the time it takes to develop it, call upon the best employees in the vineyard and in the cellar, value the consumer and always be at the forefront. This is the story of Cantina Masseria Torricella.

Since 1946: The valley called “Canale di Pirro” has long been known for its particularly fertile soils suitable for viticulture. After World War II, it was divided by large estates into small plots that were distributed to local farmers with a thirty-year management agreement. One of these farmers was Francesco Consoli. And so our journey began.

Since 1981: Since childhood, brothers Peppe, Francesco and Massimo spent their Sunday mornings in their grandfather Francesco’s vineyard. Wine was always present in the home of the Consoli family and was produced by them with enthusiasm in an artisanal way.

Since 1998: After graduating in economics and business administration, Peppe caused a bit of a stir in the family. He and his wife Eva, both tax and financial advisors, preferred to work as viticulturists and winemakers rather than doctors. When the passion for the land and his entrepreneurial spirit, inherited from his father Vito, came together, the right conditions were created to bring about a great project. Consequently, in the late 1990s the family acquired other plots of land in the Canale di Pirro, which would soon be planted with vines. In the vineyard, Peppe immediately put his grandfather’s lessons into practice. He was also immediately supported by his father and his two brothers Francesco and Massimo.

Since 2003: The vineyards were beginning to bear fruit and Peppe knew exactly what his future as a winemaker would be. He partnered with a local winery that offered him support and equipment to make wine from the grapes as the vines became more and more ready to produce important wines over the years.

Since 2005: Apulia, through tourism, was getting ready to become one of the most popular destinations in the world. Thanks to the unfailing instinct that characterizes them, the Consoli family understood the importance of the moment and renovated the old Masseria Torricella. Here they created a charming agriturismo, which today is among the most popular in the region.

Since 2023 to present: Today Cantina Masseria Torricella is a renowned wine company that expresses the essence of its land in authentic and characterful organic wines, produced with the care and passion of an artisan, supported by state-of-the-art technology.

We produce high quality products that reflect Grandfather Francesco’s valuable lessons, as well as his infinite love for this beautiful region of Puglia.
