On the palate, it is enveloping and warm, with a \u003cstrong\u003esmooth entry\u003c\/strong\u003e and a rich structure, balanced by mature tannins and a pleasant freshness. The finish is persistent and characterised by a distinct return of fruitiness.

Tormaresca is committed to enhancing the Apulian territory by cultivating \u003cstrong\u003enative varieties\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated into the surrounding landscape. The vines are trained using the bush and spurred cordon methods, benefiting from the region’s unique soil and climate conditions. The name Torcicoda recalls the lush and fertile nature of the vine shoots, as well as evoking an ancient tool historically used for horse care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are carefully selected and \u003cstrong\u003eharvested slightly overripe\u003c\/strong\u003e, then crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Maceration on the skins lasts about thirteen days, managed with \u003cstrong\u003egentle pump-overs and délestage\u003c\/strong\u003e. After racking, the wine is transferred to \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and Hungarian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for ten months. The process concludes with a further eight months of bottle ageing, essential for the full development of the aromatic bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn on the Masseria Maime estate, \u003cstrong\u003eTorcicoda Primitivo\u003c\/strong\u003e is a testament to the commitment of Tormaresca and Antinori to enhancing the Salento terroir.
