The 2006 Castel del Monte Riserva Le More (Nero di Troia) is another explosive wine from Santa Lucia. Dark fruit, flowers, herbs and French oak are woven together in a powerful yet supple fabric. There is impressive density, richness and staying power in the glass. Today the French oak comes across as a touch obtrusive, but another 6-12 months in bottle should do the trick here. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016.
Santa Lucia is a great starting place for readers seeking to discover the wines of Puglia. The wines are made in a rich, fruit-forward style.
