Carrubo Primitivo di Manduria DOC

Primitivo di Manduria from Apulia — fully ripe fruit, warm spice, and a body that reflects the Apulian sun. The Carrubo from Tormaresca does exactly what this grape variety is known for: powerful aromas, soft tannins, long finish.

Tormaresca belongs to the Antinori family and has been cultivating large parts of the Apulian highlands since 1998. The goal was to reinterpret the indigenous grape varieties of Apulia — above all Primitivo and Negroamaro — using modern cellar technology without losing the regional character. The Carrubo is the gateway to this philosophy.

In the glass, the wine glows in a deep ruby red. The nose shows sour cherry, ripe plum, and a hint of amaretto, underpinned by tobacco and dark spices. On the palate, the tannins feel soft and round, and the fruit remains present until the long, slightly spicy finish.

The Winery

Tormaresca

The winery Tormaresca was founded in 1998 by the Antinori family and is located in the Italian region of Apulia, near the town of San Pietro Vernotico.

Tormaresca has 2 vineyard sites (Tenuta Bocca di Lupo and Masseria Maime), which make up a total area of 348 hectares. The region is characterized by plenty of sunshine and strong fluctuations between day and night temperatures.

In addition to the vineyards, the winery also has olive groves and grain fields. The cultivated areas are characterized by tuff soils, on which red and white grape varieties are grown. These include Negroamaro, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Aglianico. Three million bottles of wine are produced here annually.
