Posta Piana Nero di Troia

PUGLIA IGP NERO DI TROIA

Grape variety: 100% Nero di Troia

Yield per hectare: 80-90 q

Harvest period: Second week of October

Soil type: Clayey-limestone

Vinification: The fully ripe bunches are destemmed and then macerated at a temperature of 25-28°C for 10 days, while another part of the grapes is macerated at lower temperatures to heighten the fruity notes. After pressing, the wine is aged separately: part spending a year in barriques and the rest in stainless-steel tanks in order to achieve a better balance of fruit and spice.It is subsequently bottled and aged for another 2 months prior to release.

Sensory characteristics: Impenetrable hue, with ruby highlights, accompanied by a concentrated nose of red fruit and spice. A full, soft, velvety wine that stands out for its attractive drinkability. The cushiony tannins are accompanied by a vibrant finish.

Food pairings: Good paired with the local Daunian pecorino and with grilled meats.
