The production of high quality wines is related to recent steps towards innovation and creativity: substantial changes (i.e. Chardonnay and Cabernet) that express themselves in the "terroir" in a completely unique way.
Tormaresca is the expression of the above two souls. Character, personality and top quality are the characterustucs that Puglia trasmits to the native grape varieties. For this reason the Antinori family gave birth to Tormaresca in 1998 when they started investing in Puglia, considering it one of the most promising regions in Italy for the production of high quality wines with a strong territorial identity.
Torcicoda has been included among the best 100 wines in the world for 2020 by Wine Spectator. This is the second time this has happened in the last ten years and, as the only Apulian winery on the prestigious list, it fills us with pride to represent a region we love. Read more

| Story | Tenuta Carrubo estate is located in the countryside surrounding the city of Fragagnano (Taranto), in Manduria’s DOC territory, at about 120 meters (394 feet) above sea level. The estate’s 40 hectares of vineyards are cultivated with the area’s historic grape varieties. Primitivo thrives in this territory benefitting from calcareous soils, typically reddish in color and from the climate defined by hot summers with excellent temperature fluctuations between day and night. Vines in the historic vineyards are alberate trained while the newer vines have a vertical trellis training system. Carrubo is produced from a careful selection of grapes from the estate’s vineyards and was crafted from the desire to represent the distinct character and charm of the Apulian territory through the main grape variety in this appellation: Primitivo. |
