BOTROMAGNO Nero di Troia IGT Murgia Rosso, Botromagno 2007 Grape Varieties 100% Nero D'Avola Food Matching Note: Full of upfront fruit and round, spicy oak notes make this the perfect red by the glass for drinking on its own. Has a lush succulence which pairs well with pasta dishes, stewed meats and charcuterie. Tasting Note: Almost opaque ruby red with a deeply fruity mulberry aroma and a lovely sweet flavour of blueberries and cream. Grape: Nero di Troia is called Nero for its extremely dark coloured skins. Location: From the north of Puglia which is in the heel of Italy, on the Adriatic coast. Flavour: Full bodied with lashings of blueberries and cream. USP: Troia means Troy in Italian, but this grape is local to Southern Italy, not Turkey! Combined: Full-bodied and oaked, with lashings of blueberries and cream, the Nero di Troia grape is a Southern Italian stunner. Vinification Note: Crushed and destemmed before 10 days of maceration at 30C followed by six months in oak. Find this wine at www.winestore.co.uk Price: £70.39 (Including VAT at 20%)
