100% Nero di Troia (Black Troy). Deep ruby with youthful violet highlights, showing expressive aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, blackberry, violet, dried rose, and hints of Mediterranean herbs, cracked black pepper, and subtle earth. The palate is concentrated and layered with flavors of black plum, blackberry compote, dark cherry, licorice, cocoa, dried thyme, tobacco leaf, and a touch of leather emerging with air. Dry with medium acidity, medium-plus tannins with a chalky, slightly grippy texture, medium-plus body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a long finish marked by dark fruit, spice, and savory earth. Well-balanced with firm southern Italian structure, this shows both rustic character and polished fruit, with excellent depth and varietal identity.

Food Pairing: Lamb sausage, grilled steak, braised short ribs, eggplant parmesan, wild mushroom pasta, aged pecorino, rosemary potatoes, cured meats, tomato braised dishes
