Botromagno Nero di Troia is a fresh, structured Puglian red that offers an alternative to the richer, softer style many people associate with the region.
It combines ripe blackberry, dark cherry and plum with violet aromas, refreshing acidity and fine tannins. Choose it when you want the warmth and fruit of southern Italy without an excessively heavy, sweetly fruited or soft finish.
Best suited to: customers who enjoy Rioja Reserva, balanced Malbec or structured Italian reds and would like to discover a less familiar native Puglian grape.
Nose: Violet and dark floral aromas sit above ripe blackberry, black cherry and plum, with touches of dried herbs and gentle spice adding complexity.
Palate: Dry and medium-bodied, with dark berry and cherry fruit shaped by fresh acidity and fine, noticeable tannins. The fruit is ripe without becoming jammy, while subtle earthy and savoury notes make the wine particularly well suited to food.
Finish: Fresh and gently structured, with lingering dark fruit, violet, light spice and a savoury final note.
Nero di Troia naturally brings more freshness, floral character and tannin than the softer, rounder style many people associate with Puglian Primitivo. That gives this wine ripe southern Italian fruit, but with greater structure and savoury definition.
The vineyards around Gravina sit within the higher limestone landscape of the Alta Murgia, where cooler conditions help the grapes retain acidity as they ripen. This allows blackberry, cherry and plum flavours to develop without the wine becoming excessively heavy.
Botromagno's approach is to preserve the character of the grape rather than push every wine towards maximum richness. Careful harvesting, controlled winemaking and restrained use of French oak keep the violet aromas, dark fruit and fine tannins clear, while avoiding dominant sweetness or oak.
The result is a distinctly Puglian red that feels fresher and more structured than Primitivo, yet remains generous and approachable.
Botromagno Nero di Troia is particularly good with roast lamb, beef or lamb ragù, Italian sausages, tomato-based pasta, aubergine Parmigiana and mature hard cheeses. Its freshness and tannins make it especially useful at the dinner table.
