Description
Experience the rich tradition of Italian winemaking with the Canante Diomede Canace Nero di Troia 2021. Originating from the picturesque region of Puglia, this exquisite red wine showcases the unique characteristics of the Nero di Troia grape variety, cultivated at altitudes of 480 meters above sea level in the renowned DOC Castel del Monte area.
This vintage reflects the 2021 harvest, marked by warm and windy summer conditions, which, despite the drought, contributed to the concentration of flavors and the overall health of the vineyards. The rigorous vinification process begins with partial drying of grapes on the vines, followed by a meticulous maceration period of 15 to 20 days and fermentation with selected yeasts under controlled temperatures.
The resultant wine presents a stunning deep red hue with violet reflections, inviting you to indulge in a complex aromatic bouquet that includes:
- Ripe blackberries and cherries
- Warm spices, cocoa, and coffee
- Hints of liquorice
On the palate, this full-bodied wine offers a harmonious blend of:
- Bright dark fruit flavors indicative of ripe cherry, plum, and blackcurrant
- Complex notes of tobacco and cedar
- Silky yet structured texture with finely grained tannins
- Refreshing acidity that balances the rich fruitiness, resulting in a lingering finish of dark chocolate and spices
To fully appreciate the experience, it is recommended to serve the Canace slightly below room temperature (approximately 16-18°C). For optimal flavor release, use large, balloon-shaped glasses that promote aeration. This wine pairs beautifully with:
- Grilled or roasted game meats, such as quail or pheasant, prepared with Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and thyme
- Warm salads of roasted root vegetables drizzled with balsamic reduction
- Decadent mushroom risotto enhanced with a red wine reduction sauce or desserts infused with dried cherries
Moreover, the elegant profile of the Canace Nero di Troia makes it an ideal choice for intimate dinner parties or cozy autumn gatherings, adding a rustic touch to your culinary adventures. Discover the fusion of tradition and flavor in every sip of this remarkable wine.

Storage advice
For storing red wine maintain an optimal temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) to ensure balanced aging and preservation of tannins and flavor development. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can cause premature aging or muted taste.
Keep the wine away from direct sunlight and fluorescent light ideally in a dark place since UV exposure can degrade aroma and taste compounds. If under artificial lights use incandescent bulbs instead.
Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and shrinking which could lead to oxidation. Maintaining a humidity level between 50% and 70% supports cork condition and avoids mold growth or label damage. Use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed depending on your environment.
Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed—if unopened the factory cork seal is usually sufficient. For opened bottles re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize oxygen exposure which accelerates spoilage.
Avoid storage areas with vibrations or strong odors as these may affect wine quality.
For long-term storage a stable cool dark and moderately humid environment with the bottle lying down is optimal. For opened bottles refrigeration and limiting air contact are essential to preserve the wine for a few days.
