In the inland hills of Castel del Monte, Tormaresca cultivates the bold and structured Aglianico grapes, while in the sun-drenched Salento Peninsula in southern Puglia, the focus is on the region’s most iconic varietals: Primitivo and Negroamaro. Both estates also grow Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, allowing Tormaresca’s winemakers to craft expressive blends and consistently high-quality entry-level wines that showcase the terroir of southern Italy. Since the Antinori family began investing in Puglia in 1998, Tormaresca has quickly risen to become one of the top-rated wine producers in Puglia, celebrated for both innovation and tradition.
