About us

Rivera winery was founded by Sebastiano de Corato in the late 1940s, with the goal of realising the viticultural potential of the Castel del Monte area. Since then Rivera has become the benchmark of Apulia wine and the force driving its rebirth. The 75 hectares of estate vineyards yield native grape varieties, such as Bombino Nero, Nero di Troia, Montepulciano, and Aglianico, as well as Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Rivera winemaking is rooted into the local terroir, but, at the same time, is in tune with the demands of world markets.
