Overview of Tormaresca Torcicoda 2022
Tormaresca Torcicoda 2022 is a modern expression of the Primitivo grape from the sun-drenched region of Puglia, Italy. Known for its bold character and full-bodied profile, this wine is a prime example of Primitivo del Salento's rich winemaking tradition. The 2022 vintage marks a remarkable achievement as it continues to build on the success of being the first Apulian wine to land a spot in Wine Spectator’s prestigious Top 100 list.
Appearance
Tormaresca Torcicoda 2022 greets the eye with an intense ruby-red colour that flashes a slightly purplish hue, a sign of its deep, concentrated flavours. This rich colour sets the stage for the wine's complexity and depth.
Nose
On the nose, the wine exudes a captivating aroma of red fruits, with prominent notes of ripe plums and fresh raspberries. These fruit-forward scents are beautifully balanced by subtle spicy elements such as coffee, liquorice, and tobacco, creating an enticing and multifaceted bouquet.
Palate
The entry on the palate is smooth and expansive, offering a round, well-structured mouthfeel. Tormaresca Torcicoda’s elegant tannic texture supports the wine's full body, providing a harmonious balance between richness and finesse. The acidity gives the wine freshness, while the softness of the tannins ensures a velvety experience. Its powerful flavour profile is indicative of the warmth and vitality of the Puglia region.
Finish
The finish is long, persistent, and memorable. A lingering aftertaste of cherries soaked in alcohol leaves a satisfying sweetness that beautifully complements the wine's structure, providing an enduring sensation on the palate.

| 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. |
