Calafuria Tormaresca 2022
D.O Chianti Classico DOCG
Negroamaro
Description
Discover the essence of Salento with Calafuria Tormaresca, a rosé masterpiece from the prestigious Antinori family. This wine is the elegant and modern interpretation of the native Negroamaro grape, grown in the vineyards of Masseria Maìme, which stretch along the Adriatic coast of Puglia. The 2021 vintage stands out for its vibrant freshness and unique mineral salinity, a result of the sea breeze that caresses the vines. Its pale pink color, reminiscent of a peony petal, anticipates a sophisticated sensory experience. On the nose, it unfolds a bouquet of pink grapefruit, white peach, and delicate floral notes of violet, characteristic of the region's limestone terroir. On the palate, Calafuria surprises with a smooth entry that gives way to a crisp acidity and a savory, persistent finish.
