Description

TORCICODA Primitivo Salento IGP – Tormaresca: Torcicoda is a pure Primitivo wine produced by Tormaresca with grapes sourced from the Maìme Estate, a suitable coastal area in San Pietro Vernotico. The grapes are harvested just slightly overripe to concentrate sugars and polyphenols. The wine stands out for its aging of **10 months in barriques** of French and Hungarian oak, followed by **8 months in the bottle**. The result is a **soft, rich, pleasant, and elegant** red, with intense aromas of **plum, blackberry, and raspberry** combined with spicy notes of **pepper, coffee, and cocoa**.

General Description and Longevity

Torcicoda is a Primitivo that seeks a perfect balance between the typical power of the grape and the elegance conferred by the long period in oak. The total aging of almost a year and a half between barrique and bottle allows the wine to achieve remarkable complexity and softness. Thanks to its structure and full body, it has good aging potential, capable of evolving for **5-7 years**, developing tertiary notes of leather and sweet tobacco.
