Dolium - Nero di Troia
Puglia, italy
Casaltrinita'
nero di troia
Aged in clay. Like the Romans did. But better.
This is Nero di Troia at its peak. Six months in clay amphorae—the same vessels the Romans used to age and transport wine two thousand years ago. No oak, no steel, just terracotta doing what it's always done: preserving purity, adding texture, letting the grape speak for itself. Ancient method, modern precision, total respect for the grape.
What makes it special?
Deep, dark, powerful. Forest fruits, black pepper, cinnamon. The clay gives it a velvety texture—smooth tannins that feel almost soft, but with structure underneath. Lively acidity keeps everything lifted and long. This is Nero di Troia with maturity and elegance, the kind of wine that makes you slow down and actually pay attention.
What to pair it with:
- Semi-aged cheeses with fig jam or mustard
- Slow-braised lamb or beef
- Wild mushroom risotto
- Moments that deserve something special
This is the wine you open when the conversation matters. Refined, powerful, made for reflection and sharing.
Serve at 18°C | 14.5% alcohol
In the heart of Puglia's wine country, Casaltrinità represents a unique approach to winemaking since 1965 - one where local growers come together as equal partners in a true cooperative. The winery sits on historic lands once belonging to the Order of Malta, whose Maltese Cross symbolizes their unity on every label.
Today, under Antonio Gargano's leadership, these passionate winegrowers don't just combine their harvests - they make decisions together, share both challenges and successes, and equally participate in profits. This democratic approach to winemaking, rare in today's world, ensures that every bottle reflects not just one vision, but the collective expertise of an entire community.
From their award-winning 'Padre' to elegant international blends, their wines tell a story of shared passion and purpose, where every grower has a voice in creating wines that truly represent their land.
Blessed by the Mediterranean sun, Puglia forms the heel of Italy's boot, where olive groves and vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see. This ancient land has been producing exceptional wines since Roman times, each area adding its own chapter to the story.
In the north, the BAT province (Barletta-Andria-Trani) stands out as a jewel in Puglia's crown, where Emperor Frederick II once built his magnificent Castel del Monte, recognizing the area's special character for wine cultivation.
Here, in the historic town of Trinitapoli, limestone-rich soils and gentle sea breezes create the perfect conditions for growing noble grape varieties, especially the region's beloved Nero di Troia, allowing each wine to express its most distinctive characteristics.
