In the glass, it displays a red colour with purple highlights. The bouquet is generous, dominated by notes of ripe red fruits and hints of almond. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003efull and harmonious structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a solid body that leads to a persistent finish. Thanks to this balance, it pairs perfectly with the flavours of \u003cstrong\u003ered meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, cured meats and cheeses. To enhance its aromatic texture, it is recommended to decant for an hour and serve at a \u003cstrong\u003etemperature of 16-18 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this red wine lie in Apulia, on the Salento peninsula, where Mottura operates within a baroque farmhouse in Tuglie. The cultivation takes place along the coastal strip, an ideal environment for the development of \u003cstrong\u003eNero di Troia\u003c\/strong\u003e. This \u003cstrong\u003elate-ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e variety is distinguished by its high anthocyanin content and a marked \u003cstrong\u003etannic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential factors for the wine's solidity. The origins of the vine recall ancient Mediterranean stories, suggesting a derivation from the city of Troia and its arrival in the Foggia area via Greek settlers, alongside possible links to the Albanian city of Kruja.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins for eight to ten days, encouraging the extraction of colour and aromatic substances. This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e of the must, to preserve the primary aromas of the grape. The wine then undergoes \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, a technical choice aimed at maintaining the freshness of the fruit and the clarity of the bouquet. The process ends with a final period of rest, necessary to harmonise the tannins and stabilise the taste components. This careful production process brings out the best in the raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNero di Troia\u003c\/strong\u003e boasts fascinating origins that hark back to the city of the same name in Asia Minor and the arrival of Greek settlers in Apulia.
