Masseria Furfante - Nero di Troia

This deeply - colored and full - flavored wine boasts an incredibly ancient heritage. The Nero di Troia grape takes its name from the town of Troia in Puglia, established by Diomedes after the fall of ancient Troy. The family - run Masseria Furfante winery in northern Puglia exclusively cultivates native grapes. The harvest here occurs nearly two months later than in Southern Puglia, resulting in wines with a rich style and high alcohol content. This Nero di Troia has a style similar to Frappato, with enticing notes of red cherries, red currants, tobacco, and black pepper. Fermented in stainless - steel tanks, the wine is further refined with a year of aging in the bottle before it hits the market. It pairs beautifully with a large serving of pasta!

To enjoy this Masseria Furfante Nero di Troia, simply open the bottle and pour it into a wine glass. It's best to let it breathe for about 15 - 20 minutes before sipping to enhance its aroma and flavor. This wine pairs excellently with pasta, but you can also try it with grilled meats or rich cheese. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and strong vibrations. Once opened, consume it within 2 - 3 days and store it in the refrigerator with a cork to preserve its taste.
