Vino Ghort Nero Di Troia Rosso (2015) - Cantina Ladogana

The name "Ghort" comes from a dialect term given by the Normans meaning a "wheat field", reflecting the farming tradition of the area.

The appellation: IGP Daunia Bio

IGP Daunia Bio denotes a wine with Protected Geographical Indication produced in the Daunia area (the old name for the province of Foggia, in Apulia) according to the criteria of organic farming.

The vine of Vino Ghort Nero Di Troia Rosso

Nero di Troia

Nero di Troia is a black grape variety indigenous to Puglia, among the most fascinating and least known of the great reds of southern Italy. Marked by an elegant, spicy and tannic profile, it can give wines of great structure and longevity, especially when grown at low yields and handled with care. The name may derive from the town of Troia in the province of Foggia, but there are also theories linking it to the Troad (Asia Minor), with possible Greek origins.
