Tormaresca Calafuria Rosato Salento IGT, Antinori 75cl

Peach petal pink in colour, this wine shows intense yet delicate fragrances of pink grapefruits, peaches and violets. The flavour is fresh and balanced with savoury notes and excellent aromatic persistence.

Tormaresca is made up of two estates in different areas of Puglia. In the central inland region of Castel de Monte they have Aglianico and in the Salento peninsula of the extreme southeast, Primitivo and Negroamaro. Cabernet and Chardonnav are grown in both zones giving the winemaker a broad palette from which to blend the very consistent entry-level wines. Antinori only invested here in 1998, yet since then Tormaresca has become a flagship of Puglian production.
