Its tasting peculiarities make it suitable for pairing with grilled meat, beef roasts, or mixed grills.
The Nero di Troia wine is part of the wide range of Notte Rossa, a winery from Puglia committed to the pure enhancement of varieties that have been present in the region for centuries. The vineyards of Nero di Troia are located in the classic area of this ancient indigenous Puglian grape. The cultivation area is, in fact, situated in the Alta Murgia region, about 180 meters above sea level, on calcareous-clay soils, rich in skeleton, which rest on banks of limestone rocks. The Mediterranean climate, mitigated by constant sea breezes and characterized by good temperature excursions, favors a ripening of the grapes with intense aromas. At the end of the harvest operations, the best bunches are sent for fermentation at controlled temperature, with a maceration on the skins for about ten days. The wine rests for 6 months in French and American oak barriques and is marketed after a brief aging in the bottle.
The red Nero di Troia Notte Rossa is a very interesting bottle, allowing one to appreciate in purity and its clear expressive richness, a wine too often overshadowed by the popularity of Primitivo and Negroamaro. In the glass, it has a very intense ruby red color with bright reflections. On the nose, it expresses a bouquet characterized by aromas of ripe red fruit, plums, cherry, sour cherry, blackberry, hints of spontaneous shrubs of the Mediterranean scrub, aromas of soft oriental spices, vanilla, licorice root, toasted nuances of roasting and bitter cocoa. On the palate, it has a good structure, with a pleasant tannic relief, ripe and complex aromas, which stretch towards a fresh, persistent, and harmonious finish.
