Description Top winemaker Andrea Bernardini knows how to get the most from the Nero di Troia grape. The result? Deliciously dark and velvety Corsiero – winner of two Golds and huge 97pt score. No need to blend Nero di Troia with softer varieties – gently pressed and carefully vinified, it delivers a seductive, deeply flavoured, fruit-driven red wine. The grape takes its name from the town of Troia in northern Puglia, said to have been founded by the Greek hero Diomedes, famed for helping defeat Troy in Asia Minor (yes, the grape really is that old!). Enjoy brooding black fruit aromas, rich plum, blackberry, violet and smoky vanilla flavours, and a gloriously long finish. It’s perfect with hearty pasta dishes, game or a slow-cooked stew.
