Conte Spagnoletti Zeuli – Pezzalaruca – Castel del Monte D.O.C. Rosso – Avvenice

Grapes of Troia which come from the old city of Asia Minore imported in Apulia by Greeks, give way to a red wine called ”Castel del Monte”.

Selected and combined with other typical grapes of Apulia area growing on an hilly land facing south in a favourable weather give origin to a deep red wine with violet tints, the smell of fresh fruit, its taste is persistent, harmonious and round.

It should be served at a temperature of 10° C. and it allows a large possibility of coupling with rice stew and “tagliatelle”(a particular Italian noodles) but in particular with noodles with flavouring based on meats or grills or braised meats.
