Neprica

2010 Puglia 40% Negroamaro, 30% Primitivo, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tormaresca Neprica from the Puglia region is a captivating red wine showcasing a harmonious blend of forty percent Negroamaro, thirty percent Primitivo, and thirty percent Cabernet Sauvignon. This 2010 vintage exhibits a medium body that is both approachable and satisfying, complemented by bright acidity that brings a refreshing lift to the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering rich layers of dark cherry and blackberry, interwoven with subtle notes of spice and vanilla from oak aging. Tannins are well-structured yet smooth, providing a firm backbone while allowing the luscious fruit to shine. The wine finishes with a dry elegance, making it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, from hearty pastas to grilled meats. Enjoy the delightful balance and character that this wine has to offer.

Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
