PRODUCTION
The grapes were picked fully mature in order to assure a wine of complete ripeness. After pressing, the must fermented in stainless steel tanks at temperatures around 25°C. Delicate methods were utilized during the period of skin contact in order to insure a gradual and balanced extraction of color and structuring elements, and the overall period of skin contact lasted 18 days. The wine was run off its skins directly into 60 gallon oak barrels, principally French, where it went through a complete malolactic fermentation and aged for 15 months before bottling. A further two year period of bottle aging followed.

THE IDENTITY OF APULIAN AGLIANICO
Bocca di Lupo is the spark that lit the enological dream of the Tormaresca estate. The desire to rediscover this noble and austere varietal by offering an authentic apulian interpretation drove Tormaresca's project. A requalification program has been underway for the past fifteen years. Fully mature vines allow us to produce grapes with depth and therefore ideal for making wines with great aging potential and likely to evolve over time. Bocca di Lupo represents the culmination of years of hard work and research in achieving the style we desired when we initially began the Tormaresca experience in 1998.
