Nero di Troia
Puglia, Italy
Medium purple hues. Strong floral scents with plums and cherries. Drinks a bit lighter than I expected, not sure what I was expecting though? Has some ripened red fruits along with a bit of earth mixed with a touch of smoke. Medium length on the finish.

Full bodied, slightly acidic, smooth with a little bit of a peppery finish and lots of fruit. This is why I love Italian wine! The Wine Cellar Boynton Beach

May 29th, 2019There is a legend behind this grape that after successfully defeating the City of Troy with his Trojan horse, Diomedes is said to have travelled to northern Puglia, where he founded the City of Troia, planting the vine cuttings he brought with him. It’s a delicious wine bursting with dark cherry flavor with a nice long finish. Another nice grape from Italy that I am enjoying!

Very interesting example of a unique Italian grape. Earthy-spicy Super Tuscan-like nose with laid back fruit. Rich mouthfeel and medium tannins. It's really hard to describe the uniqueness of this wine. Quite memorable.

We drank this bottle tonight because the label looked like a dead White Walker horse — but it’s also Super Tuscan-like with medium tannins and a rich mouthfeel. Jammy and a bit sharp at the end. All in all, great pairing for GoT #wsjwine

I love trying new grape varieties and thus has to be a first for me with this Italian grape 🍇 variety - Nero di Troia.
Bit it makes me miss travel!
Thanks for bringing this to my palate Laithwaites in your kindly #gifted wine advent calendar ❤️
👅 caramel, black currant, subtle tannins, velvety smooth finish
Would recommend to a friend

Had the 2021 in January of 2025. What am interesting wine. Some dark cherry and violet. Light tannins-bottle said a hint of smokey vanilla. Was a soft wine that I expected to just have a bigger jammy flavor. Really enjoyed this one and am happy I have another body.
