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!

Sep 12th, 2018We 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
