Torrevento
Riserva Vigna Pedale Castel del Monte Nero di Troia
Castel Del Monte, Barletta-Andria-Trani, Puglia, Italy
This full varietal wine - 100% Nero de Troia - is tinted medium dark ruby. The nose is somewhat muted upon opening, but shows dark fruit - blackberry, plum - laced with an earthy minerality and a whiff of smoke. The palate has the dark fruit up front, and the sip is smooth. Spices liven up the taste, but they do not seem over-oaked. The tannins are well integrated and provide ample food-friendliness without getting in the way of the mouthfeel. The finish is medium-long and the minerals play through to the end.
