Calafuria35

Tormaresca, a wine producer, has launched a 100% Negroamaro Rosato, called Calafuria, which is now available on and off premises in the US.

It produces wines from indigenous grape varieties.

The company claimed that the beverage has been produced from grapes harvested at its Masseria Maìme Estate in San Pietro Vernotico, in the Salento region of Italy.

“The flavour is said to be fresh and balanced, with good acidity.”

The Negroamaro harvest took place during the first week of September in 2015, and the wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel to retain the grape’s natural aromas and flavours. The resulting wine is claimed to be fresh and vibrant.

It has a peach / pink colour, with aromas of grapefruit and peach, along with violet floral notes.

The flavour is said to be fresh and balanced, with good acidity. The wine has a contrast of savory notes and minerality that add to the wine’s length.

It is priced at $14.99 per bottle.

Tormaresca was set up in 1998 with investment from the Antinori family in Puglia region of Southern Italy.
