Tormaresca Kaloro 2018
Moscato di Trani DOC
The name of Tormaresca's dessert wine evokes the image of the pleasantly warm climate of Apulia and the golden colors of its landscape bathed in sunlight. Moscato is one of the most prized grape varieties in Apulia due to its natural sweetness and its characteristic aroma, which allows for the production of fantastic white wines with golden hues. Perfect to serve with almond-based desserts, cakes and even sweet spicy cheeses.
Tormaresca is traditions and people at the heart of Apulia. Here there is warmth, character and personality in buckets in the heel of the Italian football boot. After the Second World War, large investments were made in the northern regions of Italy. It brought prosperity with it and thus also a market for producing top wines. It was different in Southern Italy, which entered a negative spiral that can best be compared to a developing country. As there was no work to be had outside of agriculture, the youth moved away to the rich north, and with it also the innovation that could otherwise revive the economy in the area. The wines were characterized by the fact that the locals remained the locals. They drank their rosé slightly oxidized, and the red wine was often diluted with water before being drunk in a slightly chilled state in a cool, shady place. Only in the 1980s did the situation begin to change little by little, and small financial interventions in the tourism industry bore fruit. In the wine industry, a new generation flourished. As a large proportion of visitors to the region came from large and strong economies such as the USA, a market was also created for the region's best wines.
