Calafuria
The wine
A highly expressive rosé encompasses elegance and personality. The nose expresses fruity and citrusy notes of pink grapefruits and white peaches accompanied by pleasant hints of marine breezes and delicate aromas of jasmine and irises.
Vinification
Calafuria is produced from vineyards that extend along the Adriatic coastline. Its name comes from one of the over 700 bays on the Apulian peninsula. The region boasts a long tradition for the production of rosé wines made from Negroamaro, a variety that best expresses its full potential near the sea.
Winemaking
Immediately after harvesting, the grapes were destemmed and gently pressed. The must was transferred into temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 12 °C (54 °F) to favor natural clarification of the must. Alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature of 16 °C (61 °F) to preserve and enhance aromatic compounds. Calafuria was left to age on the lees in stainless steel tanks for a short period of time before bottling and release.

Tormaresca
Viticulture in Apulia is history and, at the same time, innovation. The Tormaresca estate is the expression of these two spirits.
The Antinori family started investing in the area in 1998 as they believed that this is one of the most promising regions in Italy for producing top quality wines with a strong territorial identity.
