Michele Biancardi, Anima di Nero, Nero di Troia, IGT Puglia, 2018
Loosely translated as “the soul of black”. 100% Nero di Troia, given a year in very large oak vats. It’s a big (belieing its alchohol level) and spicy wine. Tons of black cherry and blackcurrant. Lots of grip and grunt – could take really robust dishes such as Spaghetti alla puttanesca or melanzane ripiene. Now-2026
Finding the right partner in Puglia has pre-occupied us for many years. It’s one of those regions where there’s little space between enormous, industrial scale wineries and over-priced “boutique” cellars. We sought out Michele Biancardi because the wines were written up as offering exceptional value in the useful Italian Slow Wine guide. His 9 hectares of organically cultivated vines lie near Cerignola, in the north-western sector of Puglia. He chooses to focus on local grapes only: Fiano (and the rare Minutolo) for whites; Primitivo and Nero di Troia for reds. What distinguishes these wines is a stimulating purity of fruit and moderate alcohol levels - in a very hot region where so many reds in particular are raisiny, coarse and over-alcoholic.
