WINE ACADEMY - 2° STAGIONE - The autochthonous Apulian reds

Puglia is a mythical region, a border place that chooses a valid ally in wine to preserve traditions and knowledge that have always made it unique. In an oenological success story like that of Puglia, some famous indigenous varieties have helped to define the offer and the productive personality as in the case of Nero di Troia Violante (91 pt LG) from the Rivera winery, a wine of depth and intensity, with some brackish note of surprising balance. Interpreting the best known native variety, Primitivo di Manduria Masseria Ficarigna (94 pt LG) remains a transversal and deep wine, punctuated by spices and cocoa notes for an enveloping and always highly appreciated taste. The selection closes with Paolo Leo's Negroamaro Orfeo (92 pt LG) , a dense wine capable of ranging from red fruits to herbaceous notes of laurel, closing with pleasant tannins and a long finish.

Castel del Monte Nero di Troia DOC Violante 2021 Rivera

0,75 ℓ

Castel del Monte DOC Nero di Troia is the noblest expression of Nero di Troia interpreted by Rivera.

The Nero di Troia grapes harvested when perfectly ripe are the basis of this wine, which macerates on the skins for 10 days with frequent delestage, and does not age in wood in order to enhance the natural characteristics of the fruit.

The result is an exceptionally fruity wine, highly drinkable, with juicy notes of currant and elegant scents of violets. A pleasure for the nose and palate that you ...
