Tormaresca Furia di Calafuria Salento Rosato 2024

Antinori Tormaresca Furia di Calafuria Rosato 2024 is a vibrant, coastal rosé from the sun‑drenched shores of Apulia in southern Italy. Crafted from the local Negroamaro grape, it captures the Mediterranean in a glass with its bright fruit, refreshing acidity, and subtle saline finish. As part of the Antinori family’s Tormaresca project, Furia di Calafuria showcases how a traditional regional variety can be transformed into an elegant, modern rosato of real character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2024 rosato shows a delicate, luminous pink hue with soft coral highlights that hint at its seaside origins. The nose is fresh and expressive, offering notes of wild strawberries, pomegranate, blood orange, and white peach, layered with hints of rose petals, Mediterranean herbs, and a gentle saline breeze. On the palate, Furia di Calafuria is crisp and medium‑bodied, with lively acidity that balances its ripe red‑berry fruit. Flavors of raspberry, cherry, and citrus zest are underscored by a mineral backbone and a subtly savory edge typical of Negroamaro. The finish is clean, precise, and mouthwatering, making it an effortless pleasure to drink. Intended to be enjoyed in its youth, this 2024 vintage is best consumed within 1–3 years to appreciate its brightness and aromatic intensity.

Production
Tormaresca’s vineyards lie in Apulia’s coastal zones, where constant sea breezes, abundant sunshine, and calcareous, well‑drained soils shape the character of Negroamaro. Grapes for Furia di Calafuria are typically harvested in the cooler hours of the day to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, with careful selection in the vineyard and at the winery. After a brief, temperature‑controlled maceration on the skins to obtain its delicate color and gentle structure, the must is fermented at low temperatures in stainless‑steel tanks to lock in fruit and floral notes. The wine then rests on fine lees for a short period to build texture and harmony before bottling, without any influence of oak, keeping the style pure and vibrant.

Food & Serving
This rosato is an ideal match for Mediterranean cuisine: think crudo and carpaccio of fish, grilled shrimp, octopus salad, or seafood risotto. It also pairs beautifully with caprese salads, burrata with tomatoes, antipasti, light pasta dishes, and stone‑baked pizza with delicate toppings. Serve well‑chilled at about 8–10 °C (46–50 °F) to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, allowing the wine a few minutes in the glass to fully reveal its fruit and floral nuances.
