The Troia grape is a vine yet to be discovered, not only because it is little known outside the circle of enthusiasts, but above all little known even by those who produce it.
Only a few years ago it has been vinified in purity, its tannic exuberance has always been its limit until a more careful work in the vineyard and a new technology in the cellar have not allowed it to express itself in a less aggressive way.
Today the versions are among the most disparate, from the young one ready to drink to the more structured one that needs a few years to soften and give the best, small wood or big barrel.
There are those who today think that this vine is a new shore for the Apulian oenology, some even judge it as among the most expressive ones, which have more personality.
There are already wineries that Nero di Troia have made their wine symbol and others who are preparing to do so.
Nicola Ferri is a character who certainly does not pass the fly under his nose, ready in the joke, convinced of his choices, stubborn as few in defending their wines.
He's one who believes in it and does not believe it. Taste this Oblivio 2008, an almost ancestral, ancestral wine, so belonging to the history of this region, yet modern in its setting.
Fruit concentrated without exaggeration, present with blacks of blackberry veiled by a spicy note.
In the mouth reveals an austere character, vertical in its essence, but grants to the palate acidity with an appreciable tannic finish still alive. Enjoyable to the end.
