Tormaresca Neprica Primitivo Puglia

Primitivo from Apulia can seem rustic—not this one. The Tormaresca Neprica shows what's possible when the grape variety is cultivated and vinified with care.

Tormaresca belongs to the Antinori family and manages two large estates in Apulia: Masseria Maime and Bocca di Lupo. The grapes for the Neprica come from this southern Italian terroir, where intense sun, red clay soils, and warm nights shape the Primitivo into its typical richness.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red. The nose offers black cherry, candied plum, and a hint of licorice—fully ripe, but not overpowering. On the palate, soft tannins, medium body, and a subtle spiciness on the finish. No intrusive heaviness, but rather a pleasant roundness that makes the wine easy to drink.

Serving suggestion: Serve between 16 and 18 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb chops, pasta with ragù, mature pecorino cheese, or a summer barbecue. Drinking window: now until 2027.
