The delightful 2013 Uva di Troia Le Cruste is a wine that oozes authenticity and territory. Uva di Troia is a special grape that deserves more of a spotlight in the greater patrimony of wine from Puglia. Freshness, elegance and fruit purity are the variety's most important traits. This expression adds a dash of rusticity with dark berry that is backed by earthy, autumnal tones and beet root. Dried rosemary and oregano appear as accents on the bouquet. Le Cruste sees nine months of oak in new and neutral oak.
