The 2015 Torcicoda is a rich, voluptuous expression of Primitivo from the sun-drenched vineyards of Salento. Aged in French and Hungarian oak, the wine exudes aromas of ripe blackberry, plum compote, and black cherry layered with sweet spice, vanilla, cocoa, and a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with round tannins, warm fruit intensity, and a savory undertone that gives it depth and balance. There’s a subtle, graphite-like minerality that reflects the region’s limestone-rich soils, lending structure to its opulent style. Perfect for lovers of bold yet polished reds, this is a Primitivo that marries power with refinement.

Tormaresca is the prestigious Puglian outpost of the famed Antinori family, one of Italy’s most iconic wine dynasties. Established in the late 1990s, Tormaresca was born from the belief that southern Italy—and Puglia in particular—held untapped potential for producing world-class wines from native varieties. With two prime estates—Bocca di Lupo in Castel del Monte and Masseria Maìme in Salento—Tormaresca marries tradition with modern precision. The estate is celebrated for elevating indigenous grapes like Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Aglianico, and their commitment to sustainable viticulture and meticulous winemaking has placed them at the forefront of southern Italian wine excellence.
