Description
The Negroamaro Fichimori is produced by Tormaresca, the company that bears the name and represents Antinori in southern Italy. Founded in 1998, it is made up of two estates: Bocca di Lupo, located in the Murgia Barese area, and Masseria Maime, located in the beating heart of Puglia, Salento. Antinori's goal is precisely to enhance the Apulian terroir, which, despite having long been among the main producers of wine grapes on the peninsula, has never been able to fully express its identity. By cultivating only native grape varieties in harmony and cohesion with the territory, in recent years the company has been contributing to the region's wine renaissance.
Produced on the Masseria Maime estate, the Tormaresca Negroamaro Fichimori is the result of the company's attention to detail, enthusiasm, and passion. This wine is produced from a predominance of Negroamaro, which, thanks to their proximity to the sea, are able to express themselves at their best, thanks to the Mediterranean temperature and the presence of calcareous and clayey soils, with a small part of Syrah. The best grapes are selected and harvested by hand, destemmed, and softly pressed. Before being fermented, a long cold maceration takes place, which lasts for 5 days in order to extract the aromas and gain color, followed by racking and fermentation without skins at 18°C. The Tormaresca Negroamaro Fichimori owes its name to one of the most delicious fruits of the upper Salento area, the fig, which in its intensely purple variety is very close to black in color, hence "moro". This red, unique in its kind, is suitable for drinking cold and is characterized by its fresh, soft and fruity taste.

Passion, courage and confidence in the immense potential Apulia has to offer in terms of quality are all elements that inspired the Antinori family to invest in this region, in particular in the Salento area. The vision behind the Tormaresca winery was to produce top quality wines from Apulia’s indigenous grape varieties: Primitivo, Negroamaro and Fiano Pugliese. Read more
