Uva di Troia

Region: Italy, Puglia

Grape Variety: 100% Nero di Troia

Background: Cantina Diomede is part of the Farnese Group and is based in northern Puglia, close to the town of Canosa. It controls 200 hectares of vineyards. Consultant winemaker Filippo Baccalaro works closely with oenologists Massimo di Bari and Luca Pugliese to obtain high quality, healthy grapes. Most operations are carried out manually, and the management of the vineyard follows an organic approach.

Tasting Notes: Ruby in colour with violet reflections. Red fruit aromatics of mulberry and cherry give way to a soft palate with delicate tannins. Persistent, full-bodied and elegant, this Nero di Troia is perfectly balanced. The black grape of Troy brings a smooth and quaffable texture. Concentrated black fruit flavours and a touch of sweet spice. Organically farmed.

Region: Italy, Puglia

Grape Variety: Nero di Troia

Tasting Notes: Dark, liquorice-imbued fruits of the forest aromas alongside menthol and blueberry notes, almost medicinal. It is really rich on the palate with plummy, leathery flavours, macerated black cherries and even a hint of nectarine on the finish.

Food Pairing: Best to pair with grilled meats, pasta with red sauce or aged cheeses.
