Trentangeli the name translates to "Thirty Angels," a reference to an old legend associated with the Bocca di Lupo estate. This specific DOC (Castel del Monte) is famous for its volcanic and limestone soils, which give the wine a distinctive "rocky" minerality that sets it apart from the jammy, fruit-forward wines often found in southern Puglia (like Primitivo).
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.

Memo Pairing Suggestions
Because of its high tannin structure and organic richness, this wine needs "big" flavors:
-
Local Puglia Style: Orecchiette with spicy sausage and broccoli rabe (Cime di Rapa).
-
Meats: Grilled ribeye, wild boar ragu, or meaty pizzas.
-
Cheese: Sharp, aged cheeses like Pecorino or a mature Cheddar.
-
Signature Pairing: Lamb Osso Buco or roasted lamb with aromatic herbs.

"An elegant red, lightly mouthwatering and well-knit, with supple tannins and flavors of black cherry coulis, star anise, graphite and hot stone rippling across the palate through to the lightly chewy finish. Aglianico, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah."
