What kind of wine it is

In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour, introducing a bouquet rich in blackberry, cherry in spirit, and spicy notes. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, characterised by elegant tannins and a pleasant savouriness. Its balanced structure promises a remarkable evolution in the cellar, allowing the wine to gain greater complexity over time.

Where it comes from

This red originates in Apulia, in the Murge area, a terroir with ideal soil and climate characteristics for viticulture. Tenuta Viglione manages its vineyards following organic and sustainable practices, in full respect of the local ecosystem. Work in the vineyard focuses on enhancing the value of Nero di Troia, a grape variety that in this area expresses great concentration and finesse. The result is a wine with a distinctive and defined profile, recognised by industry guides as an authentic expression of Apulian viticulture.

How it is produced

The production process involves careful partial ageing in large barrels, an essential step to integrate the tannic structure and consolidate the wine's architecture. To best appreciate its olfactory and gustatory qualities, it is recommended to decant for about an hour. This care enhances the structured texture and spicy notes. At the table, it pairs perfectly with flavourful dishes, enhancing soups, roasts, pork, and generous platters of cured meats and cheeses.
