Nero di Troia is a hidden gem of Italian viticulture. It is an autochthonous grape variety cultivated almost exclusively in northern Puglia, in the area of Castel del Monte. Named after the ancient town of Troia (Foggia province), according to the legend, the grape was brought to Italy by the hero Diomedes, coming from the city of the same name in Asia Minor after the destruction of the city. The denomination Castel del Monte Doc was born in 1971 and was the first in Puglia to obtain the recognition of Denomination of Controlled Origin. The area is one of the most interesting and vocated of Puglia. The high hills are located inside the Alta Murgia National Park in a natural environment characterized by soils of volcanic origin and clayey-calcareous type. It fits perfectly with dishes such as roast lamb, eggplant parmigiana, or aged pecorino cheese, enhancing their flavors and creating a harmonious and satisfying dining experience. Savor the essence of Puglia with Vezzani's Nero di Troia – a wine that will enchant your senses and leave you craving more.
