Discover the elegance of Tenuta Bocca di Lupo Aglianico Castel del Monte 2018, a certified organic red wine from Tormaresca’s prestigious 140-hectare estate in Puglia, Italy. Nestled in the heart of the Castel del Monte DOC appellation, this bold yet refined wine is crafted exclusively from 100% Aglianico grapes, known for their depth, structure, and ageing potential.
The 2018 vintage was marked by cooler temperatures and increased rainfall, creating a wine with exceptional balance and complexity. On the nose, enjoy intense aromas of ripe red berries, cherries, black cherries, and sweet baking spices, layered with delicate cocoa and balsamic undertones.
On the palate, this organic red delivers a rich mouthfeel, supported by silky yet vibrant tannins, and a deep, persistent finish showcasing balsamic notes and ripe fruit nuances. A wine with excellent ageing potential, perfect for collectors or as a special gift.
Tormaresca Wines represents the rich diversity of Puglia, Italy, with two distinct estate vineyards. In the inland hills of Castel del Monte, Tormaresca cultivates the bold and structured Aglianico grapes, while in the sun-drenched Salento Peninsula in southern Puglia, the focus is on the region’s most iconic varietals: Primitivo and Negroamaro.
Both estates also grow Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, allowing Tormaresca’s winemakers to craft expressive blends and consistently high-quality entry-level wines that showcase the terroir of southern Italy.
Since the Antinori family began investing in Puglia in 1998, Tormaresca has quickly risen to become one of the top-rated wine producers in Puglia, celebrated for both innovation and tradition.
