Trentangeli Castel del Monte DOC

The Trentangeli is the younger brother of the renowned Bocca di Lupo — more accessible in style, but with the same artisanal standards from Apulia.

Castel del Monte DOC is located in the hinterland of Bari, on the limestone hills around the Staufen castle rock. The Tormaresca winery, backed by the Antinori family, produces red wines here based on the regional Nero di Troia grape variety — a grape known for dark fruit and firm tannins.

The Trentangeli shows an intense ruby red in the glass. On the nose, blackberry, sour cherry, and a hint of clove. 10 months of barrique aging lay a fine vanilla and smoke note underneath without masking the fruit. On the palate, velvety tannins, medium body, spicy finish with good length.

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.
Pairs with leg of lamb with rosemary, grilled salsiccia, or Pecorino stagionato.
