Tormaresca Calafuria Rosé | Magnum (150cl)
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.
In the last four years Tormaresca has launched a limited-edition label for the magnum formats which every year wine lovers are thrilled to get. Valeria Petrone, acclaimed Italian illustrator whose work includes children’s books, advertising, paintings and sculptures, designed the first three labels which were showed at PhEST – the international festival of photography and art in Monopoli (Bari) last autumn. Colourful, fresh labels which were the perfect companion to a fulfilling wine experience. The label for 2018 was designed by another extremely talented Italian artist, Davide Bonazzi who aims to create clever visual solutions to represent complex topics, as well as narrative, witty images. His style combines digital media with textures of scanned found objects, in order to give his illustrations a warm and evocative atmosphere.
