Torrevento's Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Riserva DOCG "Ottagono" is one of the greatest expressions of this native Apulian vine, appreciated for its structure, complexity and aging potential. Produced in the historic Castel del Monte area, recognized for its quality wines and characteristic limestone and rocky terroir, the "Ottagono" takes its name from the iconic octagonal shape of Castel del Monte, symbol of the region and inspiration for this wine flagship of the Torrevento winery.
The "Ottagono" Reserve is the result of a careful selection of the best Nero di Troia grapes, a vine that finds a unique expression here thanks to the particular climatic conditions and the soil rich in minerals. Winemaking is carefully managed to enhance the varietal characteristics and terroir, with maturation in oak barriques giving the wine elegance, structure and exceptional aging potential.
Visually, the "Ottagono" presents itself with an intense and deep ruby red color, with garnet reflections that develop with evolution in the bottle. On the nose, the wine reveals a complex and seductive bouquet, characterized by notes of ripe red fruits, such as black cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of spices, chocolate, tobacco and a light balsamic touch, the result of aging in wood.
In the mouth, the "Ottagono" Riserva shows extraordinary concentration and depth, with silky and well-integrated tannins that support a rich and complex body. The acidity is well balanced, contributing to the elegance and length of the sip. The flavors of red and black fruit intertwine with spicy and toasted notes, leading to a long and persistent finish, a sign of a wine of great character and finesse.
Ideal in combination with rich and structured dishes, such as roast meat, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses, Torrevento's Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Riserva DOCG "Ottagono" represents a high-level tasting experience, perfect for enthusiasts of robust and complex wines, capable of telling the history and terroir of one of the most fascinating areas of Puglia.
