Botromagno Nero di Troia 2021
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
Uva di Troia is an ancient grape, named for the Puglian city of Troia, founded by the hero
Diomedes. Used mainly to produce bulk wines in the past, this grape has been found to
produce excellent wines when cultivated in the proper way. Hand-harvested in October, the
grapes are fermented and aged in stainless steel, then bottle-aged for an additional six
months before release. The final wine is unique and distinctive.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Luminous, ruby-red with purple reflections, this wine has fruity aromas of wild cherries,
cinnamon, sage and tobacco leaf. On the palate, the wine is elegant and vibrant with velvety
smooth tannins and boasts a very long length.
F O O D P A I R I N G
Serve with charcuterie, medium-aged cheeses, roasted lamb or wild game.
