The Vigna Pedale Castel del Monte Riserva DOCG from Torrevento is a real medal chaser. This single-varietal Nero di Troia from Apulia comes into the glass with a deep, ruby-red color. At the edges, this top wine turns into a delicate garnet red. The first nose of the Vigna Pedale from Torrevento promises wonderful spice of pepper, forest floor, mushrooms, undergrowth and all kinds of black berry fruits. Thyme and mineral nuances of the limestone-rich clay soil perfectly round off the bouquet of the Vigna Pedale.
On the palate, the flagship of Torrevento starts off wonderfully fleshy and grippy. A concentrated wine with considerable length and grippy, distinctive tannins that round out pleasantly with air without losing their profile. Again a nice balance of fruit and spice on the surprisingly long finish.
Vinification of the Torrevento Vigna Pedale Castel del Monte Riserva
The grapes come from the DOCG classified growing region Castel del Monte and originate from vineyards that are only a few hundred meters away from the sea. Thus, the climate moderated by the Adriatic Sea and, at the same time, the barren, mineral soil guarantee excellent grape material. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery and, after a further selection, are crushed. After a long maceration, fermentation starts in stainless steel tanks, followed by drawing off in stainless steel and 8 months of maturation. This is followed by a further 12 months in large oak barrels before the Vigna Pedale Castel del Monte from Torrevento is finally bottled.
Food recommendation for the Vigna Pedale by Torrevento
Enjoy this extraordinary red wine from Apulia with beef, juicy roasts, game, ripe hard cheese and salami.
