Winemaker Notes
Chardonnay 100%Selection comes from the Minervino Murge (Ba) and San Pietro Vernotico (Br) estates.
Vinification: The grapes are lightly pressed and the resulting must is placed in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 10°C in order to obtain a natural clarification. A part of the wine is then poured into old barriques to undergo alcoholic and mallolattic fermentation in the presence of select yeast cells in a temperature-controlled environment. After 3 months in the barriques, the wine is then transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where it will remain until the bottling phase.
Tasting notes: Color: Straw-yellow with green reflectionsAroma: Pronounced peach and ripe apple scents with oaky vanilla tonesFlavor: Persistent, fresh, sapid.

A wonderful joining of classic winemaking and modern viticultural techniques, these exceptional wines are crafted from 100% estate grown fruit, a rarity among Puglian wines. Tormaresca is the only producer with vineyards in both of Puglia’s two elite winegrowing sub-regions: Salento and Castel del Monte DOC.
The Tormaresca estate is composed of two properties. Bocca di Lupo is located in the Castel del Monte DOC of northern Puglia. It offers an ideal growing environment for Chardonnay, Aglianico and Cabernet Sauvignon. Masseria Maime is located on the Salento peninsula in Southern Puglia. Its vineyards extend over half a mile along the Adriatic coast and are planted with Negroamaro, Primitivo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
