Beyond the Label

Made by the talented Andrea Bernardini, Corsiero Nero is a bold, glass-staining red crafted from select parcels of rare Nero di Troia grapes grown in the foothills of the Apennines in Puglia.

The unusual grape variety takes its name from the nearby town of Troia, which, as legend has it, was founded by Greek hero Diomedes after sacking the city of Troy in Asia Minor. Even great warriors eventually turn to more gentle pursuits, and maybe it was Nero di Troia which made Diomedes settle in Italy, using his last years to make wine from this fascinating grape variety.

Italian for ‘Black Charger’ (like the trusty steed on the label), Corsiero Nero was aged three months in fine French oak and lives up to its valiant name. It boasts a long history of acclaim—including a gold medals and 90+ point scores from Italian crtitic Luca Maroni.

Enchanting aromas of blackberry, violet, smoky vanilla and oak smooth out into similar flavors across a long, intense finish. Try it alongside some of Bernardini’s favorite pairings, including grilled sirloin, roasted pork belly and fennel, or full-flavored cheeses.

Might want to gallop for your share, though. A red this delicious will sell fast.
