Paolo Petrilli 'Motta Del Lupo' - Nero di Troia

In 2022, Paolo Petrilli, a producer in Puglia, Italy, crafted this 100% Nero di Troia wine. Since 1988, Petrilli has been committed to vegan winemaking and organic farming. He even grows tomatoes and durum wheat for pastas and sauces. This wine, with 80% fermented in stainless steel and 20% in oak, bursts with blackberry and violet flavors, followed by earthy notes of anise, potting soil, and cedar. Its dark fruit and spice profile makes it a perfect match for game, lamb, or meat - sauce pasta.

To enjoy this Paolo Petrilli Nero di Troia wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes after opening. This helps bring out the rich flavors. Pour it into a wide - bowl wine glass to enhance the aroma. You can serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 65°F. When pairing, as mentioned, it goes great with game, lamb, or pasta with meat sauce. Keep the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, re - cork it tightly and store it in the fridge. It's best to finish it within 2 - 3 days to enjoy its full flavor.
