Locone 2021 Cabernet Castel del Monte DOC Bio

Locone 2021 Cabernet Castel del Monte DOC Bio by Tormaresca is an elegant and territorial red wine, born in the setting of the Alta Murgia and capable of uniting character, freshness, and pleasantness. The imprint of Cabernet meets here an essential and authentic agricultural context, giving life to a label with a modern profile, yet well-rooted in the territory.

Territory and wine style

The Castel del Monte DOC designation evokes one of the most interesting areas of Puglia for personality-driven red wines, where the climate and landscape of the inland contribute to defining a recognizable style. The name Locone is inspired by the lake of the same name in Minervino Murge, an element that tells the story of the connection between nature, water, and territory in an otherwise white, karst, and poor area. This identity is reflected in a Cabernet with a measured profile, more oriented towards balance and harmony than towards excess power.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense red color, consistent with the type. The bouquet expresses fruity notes of raspberry and berries, accompanied by fresh hints of rosemary and mint, as well as darker references of bitter cocoa and licorice. On the palate, the wine is soft and graceful, with enveloping tannins and a good sense of balance. The finish is pleasantly persistent, leaving an elegant and tidy trace.
