Tormaresca Neprica

Sunshine and Pedigree from the Heel of Italy

Transport your dinner table to the sun-drenched coast of Southern Italy with Tormaresca Neprica, a wonderfully vibrant and expressive red wine. Produced by Tormaresca—the legendary Antinori family's premium Puglian estate—this bottle captures the rich, rustic charm of Puglia (the "heel" of Italy's boot) with a polished elegance. Combining centuries of Tuscan winemaking expertise with estate-grown fruit, Neprica delivers a highly characterful, crowd-pleasing Italian red that punches far above its price tier.

The name "Neprica" stems from its classic master blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Cabernet Sauvignon. To preserve the pure, explosive energy of these varieties, the grapes are fermented and aged for eight months exclusively in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks rather than oak barrels. This intentional winemaking technique ensures that the bright primary fruit profiles, wild floral aromas, and natural regional identity shine beautifully in every single glass.

Taste Profile & Pairings

• The Profile: Intense ruby red in color with a generous medium body, supple and rounded tannins, and a beautifully balanced, refreshing spine of Italian acidity.

• Flavor Highlights: An inviting bouquet of ripe dark plums, black cherries, and wild bramble-berries, elegantly layered with red roses, violet petals, crushed black pepper, and dried Mediterranean herbs.

• Perfect Food Pairings: A phenomenal, highly versatile food partner. It pairs naturally with everyday Italian favorites like wood-fired sausage or mushroom pizza, pasta with a rich meat ragù, eggplant parmigiana, grilled lamb chops, or hard aged cheeses like Pecorino Romano.

• Serving Suggestion: Serve at a slightly cool room temperature ($61\text{--}64^\circ\text{F}$ or $16\text{--}18^\circ\text{F}$) to best emphasize its fresh berry layers and aromatic floral nose.
