New World wines from the Old World: first settled by the Greeks in the 8th c BC, over the centuries Puglia has been colonised by Romans, Turks, Slavs, Normans & Spaniards. Evidence of this long history is seen in the region’s ancient coastal towers overlooking the Adriatic Sea – hence the name, Tormaresca. Acquired by Antinori in1998 as the Puglian gem of their collection. The philosophy is to produce great wines from indigenous varietals that date back to the Magna Grecia, when all Southern Italy was known as Enotria – the land of wine. Tormaresca leads Puglia’s modern renaissance by combining classic winemaking with the latest viticulture techniques to create exceptional wines.

Masseria Maìme is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Upper
Salento not too far from the town of San Pietro Vernotico in the province of Brindisi. The estate extends
along the coastline forming a unique countryside of vineyards that lies between woodlands and pine forests
stretching out as far as the eye can see until blending into the sea. The most prevalent grape varieties grown
here are Negroamaro, Primitivo, Syrah, Cabernet and Chardonnay.
Calafuria is produced from vineyards that extend along the Adriatic coastline. Its name comes from one of
the over 700 bays on the Apulian peninsula. The region boasts a long tradition for the production of rosé
wines made from Negroamaro, a variety that best expresses its full potential near the sea. Calafuria is a rosé
that is delicate, pleasantly fruity, savory and well-rounded, reflecting the aromas and colors of its home
territory, Salento.
Winemaking >
The grapes, immediately after harvesting, were destemmed and softly pressed. The must obtained was transferred to stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 12 ° C in order to obtain a natural clarification; here alcoholic fermentation took place, conducted at a temperature of 16 ° C, to preserve and enhance the aromatic component. Calafuria aged a short period in steel in contact with its yeasts before bottling and subsequent release on the market.
