Nero di Troia

There is a legend behind this grape that after successfully defeating the City of Troy with his Trojan horse, Diomedes is said to have travelled to northern Puglia, where he founded the City of Troia, planting the vine cuttings he brought with him. It’s a delicious wine bursting with dark cherry flavor with a nice long finish. Another nice grape from Italy that I am enjoying!

We drank this bottle tonight because the label looked like a dead White Walker horse — but it’s also Super Tuscan-like with medium tannins and a rich mouthfeel. Jammy and a bit sharp at the end. All in all, great pairing for GoT #wsjwine

Deep purple with a ruby hue, blackcurrant, stewed apples, smoke and some spice. Medium tannin, low acidity, medium to high body. Seems to explode with fresher red fruits in the mouth.

Spicy. Smooth and drinkable

Layered and complex. Smoke, blackberry, and twigs with a hint of delicate violets. Lovely, mild tannins #wsjwine

Nice earth and spicy wine that was still smooth drinking.

Really enjoyed this. Smooth. Good value.

Very nice. Better at room temp then Low 60s. Nice flavor dark purple color. I will enjoy this entire bottle tonight

Wonder full flavor buy again U.K.

Full-bodied and rich, very very slightly sweet. Reminds me of Zinfandel. Awesome.
