Viticulture in Puglia is history and at the same time innovation. The Tormaresca estate is the expression of these two spirits. Character, personality, and the potential for high quality are the characteristics that the Apulian territory imparts to all varieties grown here, indigenous or not. The Antinori family started investing in the area in 1998 as they believed that this is one of the most promising regions in Italy for producing top quality wines with a strong territorial identity.
The grapes were destemmed, crushed, and transferred into stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place over a period of 8–10 days at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation was completed by the beginning of winter. Further aged in stainless steel tanks for approximately 8 months and an additional 4 months in the bottle.
This Primitivo has an intense ruby red colour with purple hues. The nose delivers dominant notes of red fruit, black cherries, raspberries and mixed berries together with delicate floral hints of violets and roses. The palate is supple, sustained by excellent freshness and sapidity and closes with a pleasant fruity finish.
