Nero di Troia Maioliche 2024

What type of wine it is

Tenuta Viglione's Nero di Troia Maioliche is an organic red wine with a strong regional character. Falling under Puglia's Typical Geographical Indication (IGT), this label is entirely dedicated to showcasing the indigenous Nero di Troia grape variety. On the palate, it presents as a structured and complex wine, characterised by a full and enveloping mouthfeel, supported by a pleasant sapidity and an elegant tannic texture that outline a balanced profile. Thanks to targeted ageing in wood, the wine acquires excellent gustatory harmony and develops a clear propensity for evolution and ageing in the cellar.

Where it comes from

This red wine has its roots in the heart of the Murge, a historic area of the Puglia region appreciated for its natural landscapes. The geographical area is distinguished by a terroir with optimal soil and climatic conditions to support high-quality viticulture. The winery manages its two hundred hectares of vineyards by strictly adopting organic farming, in order to protect the surrounding ecosystem. The unique characteristics of the Murge soil and climate allow the grapes to reach a remarkable aromatic concentration and finesse, giving life to an identity profile that fully reflects the peculiarities of the local agricultural heritage.

How it is produced

The entire processing aims to preserve the integrity and characteristics of the grapes. The most significant phase of the production process consists of partial ageing in large casks, an essential choice to smooth out the intensity of the tannins and consolidate the overall structure. This artisanal method gives the glass an intense ruby red colour and an olfactory bouquet rich in blackberry, cherries in spirit, and spicy hints. To allow the wine to express its full potential, decanting for an hour is recommended. This waiting time perfectly prepares it to accompany roasts, pork, soups, and charcuterie and cheese boards.
