With deep roots in the Puglia region, Tormaresca is dedicated to producing wines that express the unique characteristics of Puglia’s indigenous grape varieties, like Negroamaro.

Food Pairings
This Negroamaro pairs wonderfully with rich, flavourful dishes, making it a versatile choice for both Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. Its bold flavours and smooth tannins complement roasted meats, grilled lamb and hearty pasta dishes, such as orecchiette with sausage or eggplant parmigiana. For a vegetarian pairing, try it with a savory mushroom risotto or a Mediterranean-style stuffed pepper. Its depth also enhances charcuterie boards with aged cheeses like Pecorino and Manchego.
Wine Region
Puglia, the sun-drenched region in southern Italy, is known for its bold and robust red wines. Located in Italy’s “heel,” Puglia’s warm, dry climate is ideal for growing the thick-skinned Negroamaro grape, which thrives under the intense Mediterranean sun.
The region’s diverse soils, including limestone and clay, impart structure and mineral qualities to the wines, balancing their natural richness with freshness. Puglia’s rich winemaking heritage and unique terroir make it an exciting region for wine enthusiasts and Tormaresca’s Negroamaro is a true reflection of its sun-kissed character.
