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

This elegant Chardonnay was born on the 'Bocca di Lupo Estate' in the middle of the Murgia and the origin of its name is inspired by this territory. "Pietrabianca" recalls, in fact, the rocks that the farmers come across when preparing the soil and that, once ground and integral parts of the soil, help to enhance the aromas of the wines born there.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Bright yellow with greenish hues. The nose expresses beautiful nuances ranging from citrus to exotic fruits to light floral sensations of magnolia and vanilla. On the palate it is savoury, fresh and mineral, characterised by slight woody notes. It closes with a decisive and persistent finish

Storage time: 

2-5 years

Vinification 

The grapes are soft-pressed and the must obtained is placed in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 10°C to achieve natural decantation. The chardonnay is then racked into new French and Hungarian oak barriques, where it undergoes alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature.
