The 2018 Tormaresca Bocca di Lupo Castel del Monte DOC is a flagship Southern Italian red from Puglia, crafted from 100% Aglianico by the Antinori family, showcasing power, structure, and elegance. It reflects a bold yet refined style with strong aging potential. The nose is rich and complex, offering black cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of violet, tobacco, spice, and earthy minerality.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering concentrated dark fruit and savoury depth, leading to a long, structured, and persistent finish. The style is powerful yet polished, balancing intensity with finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Italian red for customers seeking a bold, age-worthy wine with depth and structure. Ideal for fans of Barolo, Taurasi, or robust Old World reds. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 10–15+ years. Perfect with game, braised meats, lamb, or aged cheeses.
