  • The wine, made from the most versatile variety in Apulia, beautifully captures the harmony and unique flavours of the Tormaresca terroir. It has a striking ruby-red colour with delicate violet undertones. The aroma is a delightful blend of cherries, the floral fragrance of dog roses and sweet violets, and subtle hints of pepper and tobacco. The palate offers a smooth start with supple tannins, refreshing acidity, and a satisfyingly fruity finish.

The grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The phase of skin contact, conducted at temperatures held to a maximum of 79° Fahrenheit (26° centigrade), lasted from eight to ten days. The malolactic fermentation was completed by the beginning of winter. A period of further ageing followed, first in stainless steel for approximately eight months and in bottle for an additional four months.

It is ruby red with light violet hues. The nose offers notes of cherries, floral aromas of dog rose, sweet violets, and light spicy sensations of pepper and tobacco. A soft entry on the palate is defined by supple tannins and accompanied by excellent freshness and a pleasantly fruity finish.

In the mid-1990s, Piero Antinori travelled to Puglia with Renzo Cotarella on an exploratory trip that he says opened their eyes to the area’s potential. “It was immediately clear to us that though this region had a proud history and ancient grapes that dated back to the days of the Magna Graecia, it had yet to blossom fully in oenological terms.” Together, they took the reins of the Tormaresca estate in 2009, championing indigenous grape varieties from the Salento and Primitivo di Manduria DOC area in a new dawn of quality Puglian wine. The estate works with Fiano Pugliese, Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Aglianico – Masseria Maime is regularly one of Puglia’s best. The Chardonnay-ripe Pietra Bianca has been monikered the ‘Cervaro of the south’. Vineyards are planted unusually densely, giving extra depth to wines that are otherwise fresh, vibrant and elegant thanks to the abundant sunshine and wave-kissed terroir.
