The name Néprica is an acronym for three varieties (Negroamaro, Primitivo and Cabernet Sauvignon). Almost 25 years ago, Tormaresca started out with this wine. Since then, the three varieties are no longer blended, but made as separate wines. And with its honest and pure character, the Primitivo clearly ran the biggest course.

The hand-sorted and destemmed grapes were fermented in tanks, in which the wine was also aged until the next harvest. It’s a textbook example of the briefly-aged ‘oak-free’ Primitivo, with all the aromas and flavours that make the variety sought after by so many: red fruits, black cherry, liquorice, softness and length on the palate.
