More questions
Neprica is a Primitivo in magnum format produced by Tormaresca and sold as Puglia IGT. In the glass it shows a concentrated yet balanced aromatic profile: notes of darker red fruit, hints of plum and spicy suggestions that emerge over time. On the palate the structure is enveloping, with soft tannins and a respectable persistence that supports the fruity flavors; the overall impression is harmonious without excess, suitable for those seeking a Mediterranean-style red that is not flamboyant.
The magnum format adds value for convivial occasions and for those who prefer slower development in bottle. It pairs well with hearty Italian dishes such as meat-based sauces, mature cheeses or light grilled fare; it remains versatile and can also be enjoyed on its own. It is advisable to open the bottle a little in advance to allow the aromas to express themselves, and to serve at a moderate temperature to fully appreciate the balance between fruit and structure.
