Tormaresca · Torcicoda Primitivo · Salento · 2023
Torcicoda brings Primitivo from Salento to the table through Tormaresca, the Antinori family’s project in Puglia. The winery’s vision centers on the region’s indigenous varieties and the potential of its terroir.
Producer & Region
The Antinori family began working in Apulia under the Tormaresca label in 1998, in the Murgia near Bari and Upper Salento. Their investment was inspired by the region’s quality potential, with Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Fiano Pugliese central to the winery’s vision.
Winemaker Description
Tormaresca · Supplied Cuvée Note, Vintage Unconfirmed It is an intense ruby red color with light violet hues. On the nose, dominant notes of red fruit, black cherries, and plums merge with spicy sensations of licorice, vanilla, and tobacco. Its entry on the palate is soft and generous with good structure sustained by an elegant tannic texture.
Expert Reviews · Vintage 2023
Wine Spectator, 92 Points Rich aromas and flavors of baked black currant, ground coffee, black olive tapenade and bay leaf are set in a fresh, elegant frame supported by supple, creamy-edged tannins and lively acidity. A classy red, with good length through the spiced finish. Drink now through 2036.
Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points The wine has wild strawberries and blueberry yogurt on the nose with a touch of soy sauce. Each sip is packed with sweet red fruit, blueberry pie, and tannins that are sticky sweet and are packed with juicy red fruit.
Serving & Pairing
Suggested pairings include grilled meats, hearty tomato-based pasta, or roasted vegetables. Serve in a generous red-wine glass and taste before deciding whether to decant.

Prior Vintage Expert Reviews
Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2021
Vinous 90 Points | Deep purple and dark as night in the glass. The 2021 Primitivo Torcicoda opens with an earthy blend of black currants, flowery underbrush and rubbed sage. It’s soft and enveloping with ripe wild berry fruits and sweet spices that slowly saturate. This leaves a staining of licorice and savory herbs to linger as a bump of residual acidity maintains a lovely freshness. The balance here is something to behold, especially considering its 15.5% abv.
Wine Spectator 90 Points | A balanced red with a toasty edge, alongside light, supple tannins well-knit with notes of crushed mulberry, baked damson plum and flattering details of red licorice, dried thyme and milled pepper. Fresh and appealing.
Wine Enthusiast 90 Points | Crème de cassis, dark chocolate and a smoky, peppery spiciness like pimentòn on the nose moves onto a palate of mixed berries topped with chocolate mousse and finishing with a return to the spicy heat on the back of the nose.
