{"product_id":"sottoterra-nero-di-troia-valentina-passalacqua-puglia-italy-red-wine","title":"Sottoterra Nero di Troia 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eSottoterra is made from 100% Nero di Troia grown on the Passalacqua estate inside Gargano National Park, near the town of Apricena in the province of Foggia, northern Puglia. The vines sit at 200 meters above sea level on rocky, mineral-rich soils of limestone, marble, and calcified seashells that drain quickly and reflect heat onto the canopy. The estate holds 48 hectares of vines within a 70-hectare farm that has been in the family since the early 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFarming has been certified biodynamic since 2000, with an organic certification obtained in 1999. Grapes are harvested by hand. In the cellar, fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts, followed by a 4-day maceration on the skins in stainless steel with no temperature control and manual cap management. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with less than 30mg\/L of added sulfites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNero di Troia is a late-ripening indigenous variety of northern Puglia, historically used as a blending grape before producers began bottling it as a varietal. It is high in polyphenols and tannins, with a characteristic bouquet of violets, red and dark fruit, black pepper, and tobacco. The short maceration in Sottoterra keeps the wine approachable and fresh rather than extracted, landing closer to a chillable everyday red than a structured ager. Drink slightly cool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valentina Passalacqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12922325434423,"sku":"VAPASOTT18C","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/passalacqua-sottoterra.jpg?v=1630816172","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/sottoterra-nero-di-troia-valentina-passalacqua-puglia-italy-red-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
