Paolo Petrilli, Cacc’e Mmitte di Lucera "Agramante", Daunia, Puglia, Italy 2019
{Organic} Nero di Troia, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Bombino
DARK RIPE FRUIT & CLAY; TANNIC & BRIGHT; BEAUTIFULLY BALANCED
Paolo Petrilli elevates the humble, rustic, and rough Nero di Troia grape to amazing heights, adding a splash of Sangiovese and Montepulciano to soften and round out the wine. Expect flavors of black cherry and pomegranate, with a bit of plum, a little white pepper, and a hint of fallen leaves. “When we started this was a simple, cheap product. I decided to aim for something greater.” Bravo, Paolo!
Serving Suggestion: Stromboli, filled to bursting w/ mozzarella, provolone piccante, mixed bell peppers, mushrooms, red onions, garlic, & black olives. Or skip the veggies, & layer in finocchiona, Serrano ham, & coppa.
