Description

In the south of Italy, or the heel of the boot, has been on the rise since. The government plays a stimulating role in this and years ago asked the famous Antinori family and the De Corato Family (Rivera) to lend their expertise to this. They have been entrusted with that. The De Corato family of Rivera and Antinori belong to a small group of famous winemakers and are the only representatives of the Apulia region in the "Istituto Grandi Marchi" (www.istitutograndimarchi.com). This institute houses the 19 most prestigious Italian wine producers such as Antinori, Gaja, Biondi Santi, Masi, Sassicaia, Pio Cesare, Tasca d'Almerita, Lungarotti, Lageder, Jermann, to name a few.

The name Tormaresca stands for 'tower by the sea' and refers to both the history and the place. Many old watchtowers can still be found along the coast. Tormaresca has experienced enormous growth, but that is not surprising now that it is under the leadership of Antinori

This 100% Negroamaro from Tormaresca comes from a vineyard with chalky soil and this gives a nice mineral touch to the wine. Upon arrival of the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for about 8 months in these tanks and after bottling for another 4 months in the bottle.

The Tormaresca Neprica Negroamaro has an intense ruby red color with a purple tint. The bouquet has a broad scent with various red fruits, black cherries and light notes of violets. The wine is soft, fruity, well balanced and has ripe tannins. Delicious with Mediterranean dishes, dishes with red meat and charcuterie. We recommend drinking this wine slightly chilled (sun around 14-15 degrees) - it is therefore wonderful as a standalone glass on the terrace in your easy chair.

In the south of Italy, or the heel of the boot, has been on the rise since then. The government plays a stimulating role in this and asked years ago the famous Antinori family and the De Corato  family (Rivera) to unleash their expertise on this. That is entrusted to them. The De Corato family of Rivera and Antinori belong to a small group of famous winemakers and are the only representatives of the Apulia region in the Istituto Grandi Marchi. This institution houses the 19 most prestigious Italian wine producers such as Antinori, Gaja, Biondi Santi, Masi, Sassicaia, Pio Cesare, Tasca d'Almerita, Lungarotti, Lageder, Jermann to name a few.

Antinori has taken Tormaresca under his wing and a team of winemakers has ensured in a very short time that the 500 hectares of Tormaresca domains produce beautiful wines. The area of ​​Puglia has become one of the most famous D.O.C. areas of Italy. Tormaresca is located in 2 of the main wine regions, with Bocca di Lupo in the D.O.C. Castel del Monte and with Masserìa Maime in Salento. The name Tormaresca has a direct link with the rich history of the area. Tormaresca, or tower by the sea, refers to the many watchtowers that still adorn the Puglia coastline. This watchtower is also proudly featured in the house's logo. A surprising area, long known for its bulk, but for years now on the advance, with Tormaresca at the forefront of the battle. The versatile wines are now nationally and internationally recognized and widely appreciated. Partly organically produced and all with a direct link to Puglia.
