Production notes
The Nero di Troia grapes are selected form low-yielding, fully organic vineyards in the province of Foggia, in Northern Puglia. The plants are an average of 10-15 years old. These vines are trained in the Espalier with spurred cordon system. The plant density is approximately 5.000 plants per hectare. After de-stemming, the grapes are not crushed, allowing them to remain intact, reducing damage to the skins and optimizing colour extraction. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 23-25°C for approximately10 days. Frequent remontage and delestage are carried out in the early stages of fermentation in order to achieve soft extraction of aromas and gentle tannins. After racking, malolactic bacteria are added to induce the second fermentation. 20% of the wine is aged for 6 months in first passage American oak barriques.
