I really like this wine for its harmony between the nose and palate. It is also a wine that easily goes well with different dishes of the Italian culture and its lands. A fairly simple wine that does not require many rules for consumption and yet, it manages to bring great satisfaction every single time.

Tasting
Ruby in colour with violet reflections. Red fruit aromatics of mulberry and cherry give way to a soft palate with delicate tannins. Persistent, full bodied and elegant, this Nero di Troia is perfectly balanced.
Food pairing
Great pairing with classic italian dishes like Lasagne e Pasta al Forno, but also with BBQ meats and aged cheeses.
This Primitivo expresses a lovely dark hue with a dark fruity profile, but not too ripe. The palate is intense and smooth. The perfect balance between body and acidity.

Tasting
Aromas of black cherry, black pepper and dried flowers. It has a powerful body with hints of plum and cherry, balanced with strong tannic notes and a pleasant fresh sensation. Harmonious and intense with warm mineral tones. Excellent in accompaniment to meat dishes (rabbit, veal, lamb) and medium to mature cheeses.

Fantastic wine with a bit of age. Great structure and the development of tertiary aromas add more complexity to this wine. Apollonio Copertino blend is a clear expression of the potential age-ability of this grape variety.

Tasting
Deep ruby red with bright and vivid reflections. Intense aromas of black cherry jam, intriguing notes of cinnamon and dried figs. Good structure on the palate, tannins is present but balanced. There are elegant liquorice aroma and fruity notes already perceived on the nose.
Food pairing
Food pairing recommendations go from roast or stewed pork chops, to game and semi-cured cheeses.
