The little-known Nero di Troia grape originated in northern Puglia, in the “boot heel” of Italy. Naturally low-yielding, it has remained relatively rare despite producing full-bodied wines of notable quality. Typically, Nero di Troia makes bold, dark-fruited wines with high tannins that are best enjoyed young. This example from Le Vigne di Sammarco offers smooth, medium-weight tannins, making it an approachable and enjoyable choice for everyday drinking.
