A red sauce’s soulmate.
Tenuta Demaio’s Nero Di Troia is composed exclusively of this dark, tannic and zingy grape from Puglia. The vines grew on a mixture of rock and clay soils, and were fermented in stainless steel after harvest to keep the wine’s dark cherry vibes. With its juicy drinkability and chalky tannins, this friendly red deserves to be crowned the reigning prince of pasta night.
- Antonio Demaio comes from a long line of growers, and spent his childhood pruning olive trees and working in vineyards.
- In 2010 he renovated the family’s old farm and converted the property over to Organic Viticulture in 2013 with his son-in-law, Giovanni.
- Nero di Troia is an ancient red grape that is said to have arrived in Puglia with the ancient Greek war hero in the battle of Troy – Diomedes.
