Conte Spagnoletti Zeuli – The Noble Taste of the Tradition

The love for the land of Counts Spagnoletti Zeuli has ancient roots. Certain information, stored in the secular archives of the House, dates back to the 1600s and documents the ownership of the land surrounding the Castel del Monte, the majestic octagonal castle which dominates the town of Andria. Built in the thirteenth century by Frederick II of Swabia, Castel del Monte was ruled in 600 by Sebastian Spagnoletti who was the last inhabitant of the castle.

Conte Spagnoletti Zeuli – 23 September – Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Reserve D.O.C.G. – Red Wine – Reserve

Produced with 100 % Nero di Troia small-berry grapes according to the personal interpretation of Count Spagnoletti Zeuli.

A grape that, grown on espalier vines over 20 years old, reaches perfect ripeness with intact and dry fruits. In fact, after reaching ripeness, in the first ten days of October, the bunches undergo the torsion of the peduncle, without these detaching from the plant. The grapes are then left for a few more days attached to the branch. Doing so removes the possibility of the grapes from continuing to feed and grow, forcing them to wither caused by the heat of the sun and the air.

Withering, the grain will concentrate sugars and aromatic substances giving life to a “Meditation wine”, on September 23rd.

The ideal combination is with intense and succulent red meats, first courses with strong and slightly spiced sauces, cheeses and savory cold cuts.
