This red Basato is undoubtedly Cantine Paradiso's showpiece! 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. This refreshment comes from the ocean breeze that blows through the vineyards. This ensures a slow and balanced growing process. The grapes are all harvested by hand to guarantee the purity and power of this red wine.
Once all the grapes are harvested, they are gently pressed, and this powerhouse is aged for a full twelve months in oak barrels. Cantine Paradiso uses medium-toasted French Allier oak barrels, which further enhances the wine's fullness. After aging, the bottle is allowed to mature in Cantine Paradiso's cellars. Only when the bottle of Basato Nero Di Troia Puglia is in perfect condition are they sold. Well, that's a real treat, we can tell you. The aroma offers a broad bouquet of plums, black pepper, blackberries, and spices. The oak barrel is also clearly discernible with hints of cedar and nutmeg. The palate is pampered by deep, black fruit nuances. Beautiful spices, refined tannins, and a touch of chocolate and cedar complete the experience.
