Expert Notes

Robert Parker: 92

Made with organically farmed fruit, the Tormaresca 2015 Castel del Monte Aglianico Bocca di Lupo is one of the top-end wines from this estate and indeed the whole region of Puglia. This pure expression of the mighty Aglianico grape opens to a deep array of dark fruit flavors followed by sweet spice, tobacco and savory smoked bacon. This is a linear, but full-bodied expression with the tannins to cut through a juicy rib-eye steak. It ages in oak for 18 months.

James Suckling: 94

This shows real freshness for the aglianico grape, contributed in part by the fresh sage and thyme undertones and also the backdrop of fresh blueberries and citrus. Hints of charcuterie. Full-bodied and ripe, but very structured and fine with elegant, caressing tannins. From organically grown grapes.

Wine Spectator: 91

A fresh and elegant red, with a lovely range of spice, graphite and violet aromas wafting through notes of pure black cherry and mineral. Long and creamy, with fine-grained tannins firming the herb-laced finish. Drink now through 2029.

Wine Enthusiast: 92

Dense aromas of dark berries meld with subtle accents of cinnamon, violet and anise on the nose of this wine that's sourced from the winery's Castel del Monte estate. There's a plushness to the palate where thick-skinned dark berries are holding court alongside baking spice and earthy undertones, with firm tannins and bright acidity lending support to the whole. Drink through 2027.
