The 2001 Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Puer Apuliae, the house’s best Uva di Troia, has also become its most important wine. An impenetrable ruby in color with a powerful nose of raspberry-blackberry fruit, minerals, and vanilla, it is rich and concentrated on the palate, structured and long, and seems built to last a good fifteen years.
