The vineyards for this lesser-known grape are located around Cerignola in Apulia. The mature vines are planted here in a rich soil structure with clay and limestone. This is ideal for absorbing moisture from the ground, which is essential, as daytime temperatures can rise considerably. The cool sea breeze that blows through the vineyards during the day creates a perfect balance between warmth and coolness for even ripening of the grapes. Harvest begins when the Nero di Troja reaches perfect ripeness. This is entirely manual and begins in the early morning. At this stage, the grapes are still dormant, making the skins more resistant to bruising on their way to the winery. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and fermented. Fermentation and skin maceration take place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25 to 28 degrees Celsius for 10 days. Some of the grapes are macerated at a lower temperature to preserve their fruitiness. Then, some of the wine is aged for a year in barriques, and the rest in stainless steel tanks.

This cuvée was conceived as the intersection of tradition and evolution, with classic Nero di Troia taking center stage and modern precision in the cellar. What exactly is Angelo Primo Nero di Troia? It's a powerful, concentrated, yet rounded red wine from Puglia IGP, made from 100% Nero di Troia with a clear signature of ripe red fruit, cocoa, coffee, and longevity. At Perfectewijn, you'll find Angelo Primo as one of the most distinctive Southern Italian red wines in this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"798\" data-end=\"821\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"1913\"\u003eThe grapes for Angelo Primo Nero di Troia 2022 come from Puglia, Italy, from vineyards in the Agro di Cerignola district in the northeast of the region. The heart of the wine is the oldest vineyard, planted by the grandparents of the current generation in the 1980s, originally as a pergola and now pruned with a modern pruning method, allowing the plants to ripen optimally in the warm, sunny climate. The soil is calcareous and clayey, ensuring good water retention while simultaneously providing adequate drainage, a combination that gives Nero di Troia strength, color, and a distinct mineral undertone. Puglia's Mediterranean climate, with hot summers, mild winters, and abundant sunshine, is tempered by the proximity of the Adriatic Sea, allowing the grapes to arrive fully ripe in early October without losing their natural acidity. Cantine Paradiso uses cordone speronato, a horizontal pruning method in which the branches are guided along a wire, ensuring the grape clusters are well-aerated and ripen evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-start=\"1915\" data-end=\"1940\"\u003eVinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1942\" data-end=\"2999\"\u003eAfter the manual harvest in early October, the bunches are completely destemmed and gently crushed in the cellar, after which the must is left to macerate for 10 to 15 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature below 27°C. During this period, color, aroma, and tannins are gradually extracted from the skins without the wine becoming bitter or harsh. After alcoholic fermentation, the young wine remains in stainless steel for approximately two months to clarify and stabilize before being transferred to oak barrels. Angelo Primo is then aged in oak for 12 months, giving the wine additional structure, notes of cocoa and coffee, and a fuller texture. After barrel aging, the wine is bottle-aged at the estate for approximately four months, allowing the fruit, oak, and tannins to meld beautifully before release. With an alcohol content of 15%, this is a serious, full-bodied red wine, but thanks to the combination of ripe tannins and a supple, sultry structure, it remains surprisingly drinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 data-start=\"3001\" data-end=\"3024\"\u003eGrape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"3026\" data-end=\"3487\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"3026\" data-end=\"3063\"\u003eNero di Troia – Agro di Cerignola\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3063\" data-end=\"3066\"\u003e Angelo Primo is 100% Nero di Troia from the vineyards around Cerignola, including the oldest family vineyard planted in the 1980s.

With its deep, rich color and enticing aromas, this red wine surprises with a full-bodied flavor and rich texture.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The perfect conditions for Torrevento wines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFounded in 1948, Torrevento has built a strong reputation over the years. Located in sunny Puglia, the winery benefits from the region's rich terroir and favorable conditions. Torrevento manages over 450 hectares of vineyards, spanning Puglia's diverse microclimates and soil types. This allows them to cultivate a wide range of grape varieties, including native varieties such as Primitivo, Nero di Troia, and Bombino Nero, as well as international varieties like Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery is committed to sustainable agricultural practices and combines traditional techniques with modern innovations to produce wines of outstanding quality.\n\n\n \nThe grapes come from vineyards on the Murga Plateau, at an altitude of 50 to 450 meters above sea level. The vines are deeply rooted in clayey, limestone soils. The grapes are allowed to dry out on the vine, contributing to the wine's distinctive character. This drying out intensifies the flavor and adds complexity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wooden barrels. The stainless steel tanks impart freshness and clarity, while the wooden barrels contribute to the complex aromas and soft tannins.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy the full Torrevento Passione Reale Appassimento\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nWith an intense ruby ​​red color, the Torrevento Passione Reale Appassimento appears in the glass.
