Cellar
The winery's production philosophy is focused on achieving a single goal: producing great wines from indigenous Apulian grape varieties. Most of the vineyards are cultivated with traditional grapes, some of which date back to the civilisation of Magna Graecia, and are strongly rooted in the territory: Primitivo, Negroamaro, Fiano pugliese, Aglianico, Nero di Troia and Moscato Reale
The Tormaresca winery is made up of two estates located in the region's best wine-growing areas: Tenuta Bocca di Lupo in the Castel del Monte DOC area, immersed in the wild Murgia of Bari, and Masseria Maime in the Salento area, the beating heart of Puglia.
The Bocca di Lupo estate is located in the countryside of Minervino Murge, in the Castel del Monte DOC area, about 250 m above sea level. The proximity of the ancient volcano Vulture, the climate characterised by a considerable temperature range between day and night and the composition of the soil have a considerable influence on the vineyards. The varieties present are Aglianico, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Fiano pugliese, Nero di Troia and Moscato Reale. Masseria Maime is located in one of the most beautiful areas of the upper Salento. The farm, which covers an area of approximately 500 hectares, 350 of which are planted with vines and 85 with olive groves, stretches along the Adriatic coast, creating a unique landscape of vineyards that grow amidst woods and pine forests and fade into the sea.
Passion, courage and faith in the quality potential of Apulia are the elements that drove the Antinori family to invest in this region, particularly in the areas of Castel del Monte and Salento.
Description
A highly expressive rosé that encapsulates elegance and personality. It owes its name to one of the more than 700 bays in Apulia. The region boasts a long tradition in the production of rosé wines made from negramaro, a grape variety that best expresses its potential near the sea. Our rosé wine, in fact, comes from vineyards that stretch for more than a kilometre along the Adriatic coast.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Bright pink colour with coral reflections.
Delicate and pleasantly fruity bouquet, broad, intense and persistent with notes of red fruit and raspberry.
Fresh and savoury flavour, in perfect balance between softness and acidity.
Storage time:
1-4 years
Vinification
in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 10°C in order to achieve natural decantation. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place at low temperatures (16°C).
