Organic-certified Nero di Troia from Gargano National Park in Northern Puglia. The red grapes were pressed on the day of harvest and aged on their fine lees for eight months in a steel tank before getting bottled.
The name of the wine is local dialect ‘at the procession.’ Every May in San Severo, the town where the grapes are grown, hold a weekend of processions devoted to the Madonna del Soccorso.
“The perfume of incense and beeswax lingers down into a side street, where confetti collects and children set off fireworks. The sound of tarantella pulls you into a pub where you’re greeted with a glass of rosato and a few of the best olives you’ve ever tried. Six signori in the corner quarrel over a card game while dipping taralli into their wine.”
