This is Nero di Troia returning to its roots. It was aged for six months in clay amphorae—the same terracotta vessels used 2,000 years ago by the Romans. No oak, no steel. The clay doesn't add flavor like wood does; it simply preserves the purity of the grape and adds a velvety texture you won't find anywhere else. It’s an ancient method used with total respect for the fruit.

It is deep, dark, and powerful. You’ll find forest fruits, black pepper, and cinnamon, but the real surprise is the feel. The clay creates a silkiness—smooth tannins that feel soft but have a strong structure underneath. It’s a mature, elegant wine that forces you to slow down and really pay attention.

Pierluigi’s Note: This is a wine for moments that deserve something extra. It’s more intense and refined than our standard reds. It works beautifully with aged cheeses and fig jam, slow-cooked meat, or a rich mushroom risotto. Serve it at 18°C.



Casaltrinità is more than a winery; it’s a collective of families who have worked these lands since 1965. In a world where big brands often squeeze the small farmer, these growers decided to stand together. They share the risks of the weather and the rewards of a good harvest as equals.

I know these people personally. When you see the Maltese Cross on the bottle, it’s a nod to the ancient history of our land, but to me, it represents the community. They’ve proven that you don't need shortcuts to make something world-class. By choosing this bottle, you are directly supporting a model of farming that puts people and craftsmanship before profit.

To understand our products, you have to know Puglia, "A-pluvia", from Latin, the 'land without rain.' Around my home in the North, the lack of water forces the roots to fight, digging deep into the limestone soil. This struggle is why the flavors of our wine and oil are so concentrated and real. The sun provides the intensity, but the Adriatic breeze is always there to keep things fresh, bringing a touch of salt from the coast. It’s a rugged, honest landscape that doesn’t hide anything.
