89 PTS WILFRED WONG. A solid red wine from southern Italy, the '03 Tormaresca Rosso, made from a blend of Negro Amaro with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon, drinks luxuriously smooth and well.

93 PTS STEPHEN TANZER. The '02 Tormaresca Bocca di Lupo has refined aromas of blueberry and blackberry jam, with hints of dark tobacco, coffee and spicy, balsamic oak; finishes clean, complex, long.
