Nero di Troia on the stony Murgia

The named grape is central to this Castel del Monte Riserva.

Nero di Troia makes up the principal grape base of this Riserva denomination. The vineyards belong to the central Murgia landscape, with limestone and dolomitic formations, shallow stony soils and karst-shaped depressions. The name ties the grape to a precisely defined part of Puglia. Other permitted red grapes may form a small part of the blend.

Two years, including one in wood

Before release, at least two years of aging are required, including one in wood, counted from November 1 of the grape-production year.

The delimited Castel del Monte territory

The grape zone includes Minervino Murge, specified portions of neighboring municipalities and the D’Ameli administrative island of Binetto, within the detailed boundary.
