SL Primitivo Nero Di Troia Puglia IGT is a delicious wine made from grapes grown in the municipality of San Giorgio Ionico in Italy. The wine is aged in second and third passage French oak barrels for about a year and is capped with Nomacork Smart Green, a 100% recyclable cork. The 2021 vintage is the first produced by Stefano Sgarzi, with his own winemaker Alessandro Graziani and the external consultancy of winemaker Fabio Mecca, who is an expert in southern Italian wines.
SL Primitivo Nero Di Troia Puglia IGT has a beautiful, bright, non-concentrated ruby colour and a fruity aroma that includes morello cherry, blackcurrant, red plum, Vignola cherry, nuances of plum, light balsamic notes, and hints of aromatic herbs. The wood is already well integrated, making the wine smooth and easy to drink. The tannic texture is silky with very fine grain, and the generous acidic vein makes the sip of a rare joyfulness for this type of wine. The wine closes refreshing with excellent persistence.
SLPrimitivo Nero Di Troia Puglia IGT has excellent evolutionary potential and can be aged for many years. The truly excellent price leads me to suggest buying a case of it. This wine would pair well with beef chops with sauce, parsley, garlic, pecorino cheese, and breadcrumbs, rolled up and tied with string. Once cooked, sprinkle them with grated parmesan. If you're looking for a high-quality Italian wine, this one is a great choice.
