'Courtney' 2019 Nero Di Troia 11% (750ml)

So this is just the kind of wine we love making, especially when it turns out like this. A slightly unloved and undervalued grape variety, grown in a poor region of Italy, given a new and different lease of life by the Renegade team.

If you know and are familiar with this grape variety, this wine may not be what you expect. Often these wines are very chewy, bold, tannic and have a raisiny palate weight. They are often big, deeply coloured wines. This wine is not like that at all. This wine has much more of a Pinot Noir-esque elegence. 

This is an unusal wine. Medium bodied, soft and silky but with a palma violet and cardomon aroma and a palate of cherries and figs.

A really moorish wine suitable for both food as well as drinking on it's own.
