The grapes come from \u003cstrong\u003eold vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e grown using the alberello (bush vine) and spurred cordon methods. The name pays homage to both an ancient agricultural tool used for horses and the historic vigour of the \u003cstrong\u003ePrimitivo vine shoots\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProcessing begins in late August through de-stemming and soft pressing. The must ferments and macerates for about two weeks in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e tanks at a controlled temperature below 28 degrees Celsius, using pump-overs and délestage to gradually extract colour and tannins. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and Hungarian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, split between second-fill barriques and tonneaux. This process imparts elegant toasted notes before concluding with a final rest in the bottle, which ensures its perfect \u003cstrong\u003estructural balance\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the historic and charming Masseria Maime estate, this exceptional red wine embodies the profound mission of the celebrated Tormaresca brand, founded by the illustrious Antinori family in 1998 to showcase the true authenticity of the magical Apulian territory.
