A vibrant and approachable expression of Nero di Troia, a rare native grape of Puglia, expertly crafted by Cantine Pirovano. Grown in the sun-drenched hills of southern Italy, this wine balances the ripe, generous fruit of the region with a freshness and energy that makes it versatile and inviting throughout the year.
Tasting Notes:
Bright ruby in colour, the nose is expressive with ripe red cherries, blackberries, and subtle hints of plum, complemented by gentle spice and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is medium-bodied yet generous, with smooth, integrated tannins, refreshing acidity, and a lingering, harmonious finish that showcases the natural vibrancy of Nero di Troia.
Winemaking:
Hand-harvested grapes are carefully sorted to select only the healthiest bunches. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal purity, with gentle maceration to extract structure and aromatic complexity. Minimal intervention ensures the wine reflects both the character of the Nero di Troia grape and the terroir of Puglia.
Food Pairing:
A versatile red, it pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled meats, pasta with rich sauces, and mature cheeses. Its balance of fruit and acidity also complements lighter Mediterranean dishes and vegetable-based stews.
ABV: 14%
