AGRICOLA PAGLIONE SantaJusta – Organic Nero di Troia PGI 2017
SantaJusta has a beautiful intense ruby ​​red with garnet reflections, structured and unctuous in the glass. On the olfactory level it presents decidedly fruity aromas of blackberry, plum and pomegranate. The finish is spicy with hints of black pepper and cloves; concludes with a light toasting resulting from aging in wood. On the palate it is warm, dry and full-bodied with a marked and elegant tannic texture.

Paglione wines are born from a careful selection of the grapes followed by delicate destemming and classic red vinification at a controlled temperature. During the fermentation phase, the must is subjected to pumping over and punching down processes which guarantee the desired extraction of the constituents present in the skins. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, i.e. without the addition of selected yeasts. The product obtained is subsequently refined and is not subjected to any pre-bottling clarification or filtration treatment.


Once upon a time,

a rebel and outlaw, fearless and valiant, who fought against the French of Anjou. Even under the shade of the large oak tree where he rested after the battle, the echo of the cry of the besieged people of Lucera could be heard: "SantaJusta, take care of it!".

Then there was the myth of Diomedes, who after having sailed in the waters of the Adriatic at the end of the Trojan War, chose the lands of Puglia to graft the vines he had brought with him from Asia Minor.

Two heroic deeds, united between myth and history, meet and exalt themselves in the delicious nectar of this wine.
