Arguably from Puglia's best growing zone, Castel del Monte, due to elevation (300m asl) and limestone rich soils, Nero di Troia doesn't really show up in other parts of Puglia- certainly not as a single varietal bottling.

The Santa Lucia estate has been producing wine for 200yrs, but of course as it is in Italy, the family can trace their land heritage back to 1628. The vineyards are organic certified and no vine yields more than 1.7kilos of grapes and only 60,000 bottle annually.The grapes for the "Melograno" are harvested in October, then processed in stainless steel, and aged for 12 months in 35 hl. Slovenian oak.

Soft tannin, medium+ body, myrtleberry, blackberry, forest floor.
