Passion, courage and confidence in the enormous potential quality of Puglia, and in particular of the areas of Castel del Monte and Salento, are the elements that have led Antinori to invest in this region. The philosophy that has encouraged Antinori to create this wonderful reality in Puglia is to produce great wines from native grapes of Puglia; in fact, most of the vineyards of the company is cultivated with grapes that have always grown in these beautiful grounds. From the beginning, Tormaresca has always tried to showcase the great potential quality of the grape varieties, being often not properly valued and appreciated, but, working with passion and commitment, they are capable of giving wines of great character, being traditional and structured, but also modern and pleasant.
Tormaresca winery consists of two estates located in the best areas for wine production in the region: Bocca di Lupo estate, in the Doc Castel del Monte, surrounded by Murgia and Masseria Maime in Salento area, in the heart of Puglia. Here are born territorial interpretations marked by a modern and international style, which have become famous to the general public.
Over the years, Tormaresca has proved to be a real strong point of Antinori, inextricably linked to the Apulian territory. Mechanization, replantings and conventional farming methods (in Salento), do not counteract with the preservation of the environment: in fact, many hectares have been left in the forest. A winery in which Marchesi Antinori has placed great trust and that, from year to year, is proving to be at the top of Puglia’s winemaking.
