Grape Variety

Nero di Troia, Montepulciano

Producer

Conte Spagnoletti Zeuli

Medium ruby hue. The thick-skinned Nero di Troia, at home in Castel del Monte, is blended here with Montepulciano, another robust, tannic variety. The Puglian sun has imbued a generous velvety character, replete with cherry and rhubarb overlain with rich chocolate and prune notes; fine tannins and oak influence add structure. The lingering finish offers commendable complexity at this price. 2027-2028 – JA
