The name "Alfiere" given to the tower depends on the fact that the owner, Domenico Nisio, in the battle of Bitonto on 24.05.1734 for the succession of the Kingdom of Naples was appointed standard bearer.

10 m high, with two floors, built with roughly squared ashlars, with an irregular base: a pity that it is in decay and in a state of total abandonment. The second floor has collapsed and the ground floor is sometimes cross-shaped, sometimes barrel-shaped. The perimeter walls have large empty holes which suggest that there were external views; the internal divisional walls have some jambs. In the interior, in a corner, there is a large hearth with a hint of a hood and in a compartment a series of niches, probably mangers. From an uncertain period, perhaps 16th century, it cannot be attributed to a precise origin and location, but due to the absence of defensive elements and the presence, next to the main structure, of a millstone to press the grapes, it is supposed that it had rather than a defensive function, it had a residential, occasional function, obviously, and for agricultural reasons, as a support for the wine business.
