Rating: 3.0/5
This Fully Developed Nero di Troia from Canace’s Cantina Diomedè presents a deep ruby colour in the glass, showing clarity. Upon nosing, a bouquet of leather, black plum, and subtle smoke reveals itself, developing further to earthy and mushroom notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, grippy in texture, with medium tannins balanced by lively acidity and a medium plus finish.
