Castel Del Monte DOC Nero Di Troia Violante 2015 Rivera
Description
Fresh and tasty
The picturesque area of the Murge has become an important piece of cultural heritage and a staple of the Apulian landscape. Located in the countryside of Andria, the Rivera wine estate combines tradition and innovation to produce world-class wines of outstanding quality and finesse. Characterized by a deep respect for nature, Rivera is committed to preserving the grape’s peculiar characteristics and grows mainly autochthonous grapes such as Nero di Troia. Although its origins are still uncertain, the name of this variety is probably linked to the legend of the Greek hero Diomedes, known for his participation in Homer’s mythical Trojan war. Nero di Troia is used to produce Violante, an excellent red wine, renowned for its fresh style and youthful personality.
Deep ruby red in color, it is dominated by alluring aromas of redcurrant, blackberry, wild rose, dark spices and mineral notes on the nose. The palate is delicately fresh and warm, with ample tannins and a long, persistent fruity finish.
Ideal with roast pheasant, pork tenderloin with plum chutney, spicy lamb cutlets with juniper berries and beef stew.
