Tormaresca 2000 Bocca di Lupo Aglianico (Castel del Monte)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
How smooth is this luscious bruiser—a combination of 90% Aglianico and 10% Cab Sauvignon? Pull out the knife and fork and find out. The color is splendidly opaque, and the palate is packed with cherry, cassis, mint and menthol. The finish is chewy, with mouth-coating tannins. Very pretty and wall-to-wall in terms of structure. From Antinori’s Puglian operation.

Tormaresca 2000 Masseria Maime Negroamaro (Salento)
- $28
This new Negroamaro-based wine from Piero Antinori’s Southern Italian venture is quite the powerhouse. If you like digging into a meaty, tight, minerally red with loads of ripeness and complexity, then here’s your ticket. It’s ultra everything: black fruit, cassis, vital acidity, you name it. The finish is spectacular as it unfolds in waves. Really a super wine…

Tormaresca 2007 Torcicoda Primitivo (Salento)
This lavish wine boats fine winemaking. Its beautiful flavors of plump cherry, leather, chocolate and tobacco are backed by soft tannins and a rich, round mouthfeel. This should pair with meat or pasta.

Tormaresca 2002 Bocca di Lupo Aglianico (Castel del Monte)
- Editors' Choice
- $27
Here’s a wine that epitomizes the winemaking potential of Puglia, in southern Italy. This Aglianico, with a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, is a vibrant ruby color and is bursting with ripe cherry, cigar box, black slate, resin and toast. It is a complex wine with a particularly succulent quality in the mouth that finishes with dusty tannins.

Tormaresca 2007 Masseria Maime Negroamaro (Salento)
Tormaresca delivers a beautiful expression of Negroamaro. Quality aromas of blackberry and cherry liqueur emerge on the bouquet, and oak-driven tones of almond and chocolate follow through on the finish. It’s soft, plush and bold.

Tormaresca 2002 Masseria Maime Negroamaro (Salento)
- $28
Roasted and spicy up front, not unlike a good sauce or BBQ rub. The palate is big and chewy, with sweet plum, blackberry and hard-spice flavors. Plenty of clove and pepper carry the tannic, pumped-up finish. It’s 100% Negroamaro made in a modern, well-oaked style.
