Corsiero Nero 2024 (187ml)

The dark horse – in miniature
Nero di Troia is one of Italy’s finest grapes. While it’s often found it pricey blends, it takes centre stage in Corsiero. Crafted by top Italian winemaker Andrea Bernardini, it’s a velvety red wine with blackberry, violet and smoky vanilla spice.
Top winemaker Andrea Bernardini knows how to get the most from the Nero di Troia grape. The result? Deliciously dark and velvety Corsiero. No need to blend Nero di Troia with softer varieties – gently pressed and carefully vinified, it delivers a seductive, deeply flavoured, fruit-driven red wine. The grape takes its name from the town of Troia, said to have been founded by the Greek hero Diomedes, famed for helping defeat Troy in Asia Minor (yes, the grape really is that old!). Look forward to brooding black fruit aromas, with rich plum, blackberry, violet and smoky vanilla flavours, leading to a gloriously long finish. Rich and warming, Corsiero is perfect with hearty pasta dishes, game or a slow-cooked stew.
