Description

Discover the soul of northern Puglia with Mures Nero di Troia, a remarkable red wine crafted by the historic Cantina di Ruvo di Puglia, often known locally as Crifo. This wine is a beautiful expression of the Nero di Troia grape, a noble and ancient native variety of the region, which thrives in the unique terroir of the Murgia hills. The label 'Mures', evocative of the ancient stone walls of the area, mirrors the wine's character: solid, authentic, and deeply rooted in tradition.

In the glass, the Mures Nero di Troia displays an intense, deep ruby red color that hints at its complexity. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of dark fruits, primarily blackberry and black cherry, interwoven with sophisticated notes of spice and a subtle hint of dark tobacco, characteristic of the variety. On the palate, the wine is beautifully balanced; it strikes a fine harmony between its robust structure and velvety, polished tannins, providing a drinking experience that is both approachable and profound. Its finish is remarkably persistent, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and soft, smooth tannins that entice you to take another sip.

This wine is a fantastic culinary companion, particularly suited to the rich, flavorful traditions of Southern Italian cuisine. Its structure makes it an excellent match for grilled red meats, robust pasta dishes with meat sauces, or traditional Puglian orecchiette with cime di rapa. It also pairs wonderfully with aged hard cheeses, such as Pecorino or Parmigiano, which complement its fruity intensity. Whether you are hosting a dinner or enjoying a quiet evening, this Nero di Troia brings the warmth and passion of the Puglian countryside directly to your table. We recommend decanting it for about 30 minutes before serving at a temperature of approximately 18°C to allow its full aromatic profile to shine.
