Tormaresca Calafuria Rosé 2018
Calafuria is a rosé wine made from the Negroamaro grape by Tormaresca in Masseria Maìme Estate, which is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Upper Salento. The estate extends along the Adriatic coast and covers an area of about 500 hectares, 350 of which are planted with vines and 85 with olive groves. The wine was first released in 2008 and in just over a decade it has become the most loved rosé in Italy and the only Italian rosé featuring in the 2018 top value rosés on Wine Spectator last year. Paler in colour than any other Apulian rosé it is although a real expression of the region’s character. Peach petal pink in colour, this wine shows intense yet delicate fragrances of strawberry, pink grapefruit, peaches and violets. The flavour is fresh and balanced with savoury notes and excellent aromatic persistence.
