More About Cantina Diomede Canace Nero di Troia

A flagship expression of Nero di Troia from northern Puglia, grown on limestone hills in the Castel del Monte area. Made from organically farmed fruit and partially dried on the vine, it’s a richer, more structured take on this native southern Italian grape.

Deep and complex, it shows ripe blackberry, plum and red berries layered with cocoa, coffee, liquorice and warm spice. The palate is full-bodied, smooth and velvety, with elegant tannins, fresh acidity and a long, gently spicy finish.

Aged in concrete and then French oak for around 12 months, it balances richness with structure, giving both depth and polish.

A powerful yet refined southern Italian red, ideal with roast meats, game or aged cheeses, or as a slow, contemplative glass on its own.

 

Meet the Producer, Cantina Diomede

Cantina Diomede

Style: Winery

Cantina Diomede sits deep in northern Puglia where sunshine, limestone soils and ancient grape varieties combine into wines that taste unapologetically southern Italian in the best possible way. The winery takes its name from the Greek hero Diomedes, who according to local legend arrived in Puglia after the Trojan War and planted vines across the region. Which is either beautifully mythological or the ancient world’s most dramatic vineyard expansion project.

The estate focuses heavily on native grapes like Nero di Troia, Bombino Bianco and Aglianico, varieties perfectly suited to Puglia’s hot climate and rugged landscape. Nero di Troia especially is the star here, producing wines packed with dark fruit, spice, herbs and soft earthy tannins that somehow feel both rustic and polished at the same time.

What’s nice about Cantina Diomede is how firmly rooted it feels in local identity. The winery leans into traditional Puglian winemaking culture while still using modern techniques to keep the wines clean, balanced and approachable. There’s warmth and generosity throughout the range, but without tipping into the heavy overripe style southern Italy can sometimes fall into.

The vineyards themselves sit around Castel del Monte, an area full of limestone hills and ancient agricultural history, which gives the wines freshness and structure underneath all the Mediterranean fruit. The reds especially feel built for food. Grilled meats, tomato-based dishes, hard cheeses, things involving olive oil and zero restraint, basically the full southern Italian experience.

There’s also something wonderfully honest about the whole project. These are not wines trying to imitate Bordeaux or impress investment bankers at private tastings. They’re proudly Puglian wines made for actual drinking, which is usually where Italy does its best work anyway.
