Description
What type of wine it is
Roycello Fiano Salento by Tormaresca is a still white wine produced in Puglia, a faithful expression of the Fiano grape variety within the Salento denomination. The wine is distinguished by a fresh and elegant profile, with a soft entry that evolves rapidly towards a distinct sapidity and a marked mineral texture. Vinification and ageing take place entirely in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees, ideal techniques for preserving the integrity of the primary aromas. The result is a harmonious sip, characterised by a clean finish and pleasant persistence.
Where it comes from
It is born in the heart of Salento, at the Masseria Maìme estate located between San Pietro Vernotico and Minervino. The area benefits from a typically Mediterranean climate and close proximity to the sea. This strong coastal influence is reflected in the wine's profile, giving the grapes a distinctive briny character. The Tormaresca estate, founded in 1999 by the Antinori family, enhances the peculiarities of this Apulian terroir through management attentive to the winemaking vocation of the area.
How it is produced
The production process begins with the harvesting of the grapes, followed by delicate destemming and soft pressing. The must is cooled to allow for natural settling, preserving the most fragrant aromas before alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a strictly controlled temperature. The wine then undergoes a period of ageing on fine lees for a few months, an essential step to give greater structure and complexity to the palate. A short rest in the bottle concludes the evolution, harmonising all the flavour components.
