The 2024 Tormaresca Nèprica Primitivo IGT Puglia is a vibrant Southern Italian red from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, crafted from 100% Primitivo in a modern, fruit-forward style. It reflects the Antinori family’s approach to combining regional character with approachability and balance. The nose is expressive and inviting, showing black cherry, plum, and mixed berries, with hints of violet, spice, and subtle herbal notes.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and round tannins. Juicy red and dark fruit flavors are supported by fresh acidity, leading to a soft, fruity, and easy-drinking finish. The style is bold yet approachable, emphasizing freshness and versatility.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great everyday Italian red—perfect for customers who enjoy smooth, fruit-forward wines with a touch of spice. Ideal for casual drinking or sharing. Drink now or over the next 2–3 years. Perfect with pizza, pasta, BBQ, or grilled meats.
