Rivera Winery was founded in the 40's, in the countryside of Andria, by Sebastiano de Corato.
Soon the winery became the main reference point of Apulian enology and the real engine of its rebirth, thanks to the innovations in the vineyard and in the cellar made since the 1980s. With the joining of Sebastiano and Marco, Carlo's sons and grandsons of the founder, Rivera continues with pride and renewed commitment in the production of wines which express all the intense and elegant character of this territory and of its grapes.
In accordance with the winery's philosophy, in all the phases of the production process - vine breeding, grape harvesting, vinification, aging and bottling of wines - are combined the most modern techniques of viticulture and enology with the absolute respect of natural processes, in the perspective of environmental and economic sustainability and continuous improvement of quality.
