Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Riserva places the named grape in a delimited Puglian setting.

The Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Riserva specification makes Nero di Troia the principal grape of its blend. Its territory belongs to the central Murgia, with limestone and dolomitic formations and commonly shallow, stony soils. Low rises and karst depressions shape the plateau. This named denomination offers a precise Italian wine reference within that landscape.
