Description
From the sun-drenched vineyards of Salento in Puglia, Italy, Tormaresca Torcicoda Primitivo 2022 captures the rich soul of the region’s terroir. Made entirely from Primitivo grapes, this bold and expressive red wine falls under the Primitivo del Salento IGT designation. Aged with care and bottled at 15% alcohol, it pours a deep ruby with delicate violet reflections, promising intensity from the first glance.
On the nose, layers of ripe blackberries and raspberries unfold, mingling with earthy undertones of licorice and dark chocolate. Its complexity continues on the palate, offering a warm, velvety entry that evolves into a structured and balanced mouthfeel. The tannins are refined and well-integrated, supporting flavors of rich cherry jam and a lingering, spicy finish that remains long after the last sip.
Best enjoyed at 18–20°C, this vintage pairs beautifully with Puglia’s robust cuisine—think roasted meats, aged cheeses, and dishes steeped in savory tomato-based sauces. Whether poured for a festive dinner or savored slowly with grilled lamb, Torcicoda brings Southern Italian character and warmth to any occasion.
