Castel del Monte Bombino Nero DOCG

  • Murgia origin: A Castel del Monte wine identity in northern/central Puglia.
  • Grape & colour: Bombino Nero makes a still rosato here. Nero refers to the dark-skinned grape, not a requirement that the wine be red.
  • Name distinction: Bombino Nero is different from Nero di Troia, which is important for the two red Castel del Monte DOCGs.

Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Riserva DOCG

  • Principal grape: Nero di Troia is the defining red-grape reference.
  • Style: A typically dry, structured red from the Castel del Monte area, with mandatory maturation.
  • Keep Riserva: Riserva forms part of the protected DOCG name; do not drop it or confuse this origin with the broader Castel del Monte DOC.

Castel del Monte Rosso Riserva DOCG

  • Separate DOCG: Distinct from Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Riserva, despite the similar names.
  • Grape identity: Nero di Troia underpins this structured red; other permitted red grapes may contribute.
  • Maturation: Both red Castel del Monte DOCGs require at least 2 years’ ageing, including at least 1 year in wood.
