Pairing Roast pork, structured meats, aged cheeses
Carrubo by Tormaresca is a Primitivo di Manduria DOC that expresses the warm, enveloping character typical of the appellation. Produced by the Tormaresca estate, it shows a balanced profile focused on fruit richness and softness on the palate, without forcing itself. Tormaresca’s offering follows a careful approach intended to highlight the Primitivo's character.

On the nose there are scents of ripe red fruit and light spicy notes; on the palate the texture is full and juicy, with rounded tannins and pleasant persistence. It is advisable to serve it at a slightly cool cellar temperature and pair it with roasted meats, flavourful pasta dishes or medium‑aged cheeses; it can also accompany traditional local dishes. For those who want to discover its balance, it is a wine ready to drink that retains good complexity. Before serving, a few minutes in a decanter or carafe can help integrate the aromas. It is also suitable for informal tastings with friends.
