Tormaresca Masseria Maime Salento

Apulia, the heel of the Italian boot, is one of the flattest and most fertile regions in Italy. The DOC area of Castel del Monte, named after the castle built in the 13th century, has established itself as a first-class wine-growing region with magnificent vineyards.

Marchese Piero Antinori recognized the immense potential of the climate and terroir here and had the international grape varieties Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon planted on 350 hectares of vineyards alongside the regional Aglianico variety. Tormaresca is therefore one of the pioneers in the cultivation of international grape varieties in Apulia.

The Masseria Maime from Tormaresca sparkles ruby red in the glass and captivates with a bouquet of red berries. Its 14-month barrique aging also gives it a pleasant wood note, well integrated into the soft and spicy taste. Sweet, gentle tannins round off this "Three Glasses" wine wonderfully.

Aged for 14 months in barriques and 6 months in the bottle.

For the 8th time in a row: 3 glasses in Gambero Rosso say everything about this top wine from the Antinori house.

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.
