Only found in this region, and often mixed with other varieties such as Primitivo and Negroamaro. And also a grape with a mind of its own! However, at Cantina Paradiso, named after the Paradiso family, they have dared to bottle the pure variant. One even received a silver medal at the Merano wine festival. This Paradiso Posta Piana Nero di Troia It underwent a year of aging, 50% in oak and 50% in steel, to achieve a better balance between fruit and spices. The result is a wine with a blend of fruit (such as strawberries, cherries, and myrtle), and Mediterranean herbs like sage and rosemary. All topped off with a touch of vanilla. A smooth, soft wine with plenty of captured sunshine. Try it with Pecorino and grilled meat such as lamb and goat. At the Saté Kambing. It really goes well with that. There are very few wines that can pull that off.
Every wine-producing country has its protagonist, an indigenous vine whose origins have been lost in the mists of time, and the Nero di Troia is no exception. Nero di Troia has always been cultivated here; according to legend, it landed on the coast of the Adriatic Sea thanks to the Attic hero Diomedes bringing it from Greece. Other sources tell of a Spanish vine from the Rioja region that was brought to Puglia in 1745 by Governor Don Alfonso d’Avalos. However, it is more likely that it originated somewhere in the Balkans, perhaps via the Albanian city of Crujia, as indeed many European vines do. We offer it at wijnclubamsterdam.nl because it feels right at home there as well.
There are two varieties that differ considerably from each other: the variety grown in Daunia produces large bunches. The Paradiso Posta Piana Nero di Troia is made from this. The variety grown in the north of Bari, on the other hand, has small bunches and berries. It is rich in tannins and produces wines that stand the test of time, as evidenced by some bottles opened after 30 or 40 years. In the best years, a beautiful rosé is also obtained from Nero di Troia, with a bright color and an aroma of small berries.
