- A modern interpretation of the Primitivo grape, the first Apulian wine that got into Wine Spectator’s Top 100.
- It has an intense ruby-red colour with a slightly purplish hue. The red fruit, plum, and raspberry notes prevail on the nose, combined with the spicy sensations of coffee, liquorice, and tobacco. The entrance is soft and broad on the palate, with a good structure supported by an elegant tannic texture. The finish is long and persistent, with a pleasant aftertaste of cherry in alcohol.
Made exclusively from Primitivo, this wine has strong ties to the rural countryside where it is produced. For local families, it was also a significant symbol of fertility and wealth as, in the not-too-distant past, it was given as part of young brides’ dowries when they married. “Torcicoda”, on the one hand, indicates an instrument that farmers once used to take care of their horses. At the same time, on the other, it represents the coiling, luxuriant nature of the shoots and leaves of its vines, also called the vine “of the three harvests” due to its abundant growth.

| Winery | 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 fresh, vibrant and elegant wines thanks to the abundant sunshine and wave-kissed terroir. |
