Not an obvious time to establish a winery, given the widespread poverty in Southern Italy at the time. Yet, Angelo was determined to create a paradise after all the hardship. He wanted to make wines that emphasized the flavors of the grapes without any fuss. Simply Italian! Today, his son, along with Angelo's grandchildren, is at the helm. He has created a new wine series, the Posta Piana series.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e 12 months of wood aging for this Nero di Troja \u003c\/h2\u003eOne of the highlights of this series is this Posta Piana Nero di Troja. 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. Before being released, it is then aged for a further two months in bottle.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eHow does the Posta Piana Nero di Troja taste?\u003c\/h2\u003e We've now arrived at the final result of all the effort put into making this red wine. The deep, dark red color with a purple rim already makes our wine-loving hearts beat faster. On the nose, we noted a beautiful blend of strawberries, cherries, and myrtle, spices, and vanilla. This translates into a full-bodied and powerful wine with plenty of suppleness. The fruity flavors are pleasantly present, interspersed with a powerful spice. A true winner that has captured our hearts!","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775796711503,"sku":"10840","price":9.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/posta-piana-nero-di-troia_10840.webp?v=1770120934"},{"product_id":"cantine-paradiso-angelo-primo-nero-di-troia","title":"Cantine Paradiso Angelo Primo Nero di Troia","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"63\"\u003e Cantine Paradiso Angelo Primo Nero di Troia 2022, Puglia IGP\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"65\" data-end=\"796\"\u003e Cantine Paradiso Angelo Primo Nero di Troia 2022 is dedicated to Grandfather Angelo, the winery's founder, and comes from the oldest vineyard the family planted in the 1980s near Cerignola in Puglia. 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.

The palate is full and concentrated, with sultry, plump ripe fruit that rolls broadly across the tongue, supported by pleasant, ripe tannins that give the wine structure and length without becoming angular. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering impressions of ripe fruit, cocoa, and a light spiciness.

This is partly due to the old vineyards filled with the Nero di Troia grape. The old, thick stems stand in a strong soil structure from which the plants draw abundant nutrients. This contributes to the magnificent harvest, and combined with the perfect climate, makes this red wine unique. The bunches enjoy Puglia's many hours of sunshine but also receive plenty of coolness.

They are then cold-soaked in stainless steel tanks, using carbonic maceration to ensure the dried fruit character remains clearly evident. Fermentation then follows, lasting 10 to 15 days.
