Lama di Pietra Nero di Troia

A southern Italian red from Puglia, made entirely from the indigenous Nero di Troia grape a variety known for producing structured, deeply coloured wines with a balance of ripe fruit and gentle tannic grip. The wine comes from Cantina Diomede, a large organically farmed estate in northern Puglia near Canosa.

In the glass it shows a ruby red colour with violet reflections, immediately suggesting freshness alongside ripeness. The nose is expressive but not heavy, with mulberry, cherry and red berry fruit, sometimes drifting into subtle floral tones like violet.

On the palate it’s described as full-bodied but soft and balanced, with a smooth texture and delicate, fine-grained tannins rather than anything aggressive or drying.
