Tormaresca Torcicoda
Description

Tormaresca Torcicoda

With its elegant and balanced flavours the Torcicoda was the first wine from Apulia to enter the Wine Spectator’s top 100 wines in the world. This unique wine made from the Primitivo grape spearheads the recent renaissance of Apulia’s wine and food production.

The Thomas Manss & Company designed mark that identifies the wine combines the characteristics of some of the most memorable Salento hallmarks: the rose windows of the churches in this southern region of Apulia, the whirling rhythm of the flamenco-style Taranta and the twisting vines that produce the Primitivo grape typical for this coastal region best described as the ‘heel’ of Italy.
