More questions
The Locone Cabernet from Tenuta Bocca di Lupo presents as a red wine in magnum format, organically certified and linked to the Castel del Monte DOC. In the glass it shows an intense ruby colour; on the nose there are notes of ripe dark fruit, light vegetal hints and touches of sweet spice. The structure is balanced, with noticeable but well‑integrated tannins and an acidity that supports the sip without overpowering it. It suits those seeking a decisive yet not overly aggressive red.
It is recommended to serve at a moderate temperature and to pair with roasted meats, light game or aged cheeses, while also fitting heartier Mediterranean dishes. The magnum format supports steadier bottle development and provides a striking presence for convivial occasions. Ideal for those who want a characterful organic wine to present at the table or to give as a gift, keeping realistic expectations about its evolution over time.

The story
The Tenuta Bocca di Lupo project was launched as an initiative of Tormaresca to rediscover and promote Puglia's native grape varieties. The company website states that the project began in 1998 and has developed over the years to become a point of reference in the Castel del Monte area.
Production philosophy
The estate prioritizes organic vineyard management and a terroir-driven approach to its grape varieties. Its aim is to offer contemporary expressions of local varieties and signature selections, grounding production in the quality of the terroir and in sustainable agricultural practices.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate is located in the Murgia, in the countryside of Minervino Murge, within the Castel del Monte DOC area. The vineyards are cultivated on nutrient‑poor calcareous soils at elevations of around 250–300 meters above sea level, and the landscape is characterized by climatic and soil conditions that favor elegant, well‑defined wines.
