Tormaresca Primitivo Torcicoda Salento IGT 2022

WS91
V91
$24.99 USD

Unleash the bold soul of Southern Italy with Tormaresca Torcicoda Primitivo Salento IGT 2022, a flagship red from the Antinori family’s Puglia estate. Sourced from 30+ year-old bush vines in the sun-drenched Salento peninsula, this 100% Primitivo is aged 15 months in French oak barriques—delivering a plush, opulent expression of Puglia’s iconic grape.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Black plum, dried fig, black cherry jam, dark chocolate, and Mediterranean herbs
  • Palate: Full-bodied and velvety with ripe black fruit, cocoa, sweet spice, and silky tannins
  • Finish: Warm, persistent, and balanced—ripe fruit meets savory earth and subtle vanilla

Heritage & Terroir

Crafted by Tormaresca (Antinori’s Puglia project), Torcicoda is named after the ancient torchio (wine press) and the twisted vines (coda torta) of old-vine Primitivo. Hand-harvested from red clay and limestone soils, fermented in stainless steel, then refined in 60% new French oak. A benchmark for modern Salento reds.

Perfect Pairings

  • Grilled lamb with rosemary
  • Aged pecorino or taleggio
  • Wild mushroom risotto or truffle pasta

Wine Spectator

"There's a dark core of ripe black plum, mulberry and sun-dried black cherry fruit in this refined red, backed by lively acidity. Medium-bodied and balanced, with the fruit profile enmeshed with fine, taut tannins and notes of bay leaf, black licorice, minerals and sandalwood. Drink now through 2032."

V91
Vinous

"Rich plum sauce, sage and sweet smoke come to life in the 2022 Primitivo Torcicoda's bouquet. Balanced, medium-bodied and soft in texture, its ripe red and black fruits swirl are complemented by a tinge of cocoa. The 2022 finishes tactile and long, gently tannic and incredibly fresh with citrus-laced blackberries and dark chocolate tones."
