The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 400 to 500 meters on chalky clay. The freshness of the altitude and the Mediterranean sun combine to produce concentrated fruit with vibrant acidity. The vines are planted in a cordon speronato with approximately 4,500 plants per hectare, focused on ripeness and aromatic precision.
Harvesting begins late in the season, from late October to early November, allowing Nero di Troia to fully mature. After a long maceration, the wine ferments at a controlled temperature. It then ages for eight months in stainless steel for fruit purity and for 12 months in large oak barrels. This large oak barrel provides oxygen and texture without overwhelming the fruit. At around 13% alcohol, the style remains powerful but never heavy.
Nero di Troia 100%. This Pugliese variety produces dark cherries and berries, a noble tannin structure, and a fresh, savory undertone that truly shines at the table.
