Maree d’Ione Nero di Troia

The southern Italian region of Puglia is stuffed with brilliantly named grapes you don’t hear much about. This generous, juicy red is made from the Nero di Troia grape, one that’s usually blended in with other grapes. But here, it’s flying solo. Brilliantly so. All berry and spice, it manages to be fresh and firm and not at all too chewy. Refreshingly different, it’s currently on offer (normally it’s £8.49). Definitely worth a try if you like fruity reds. Just add lamb shanks.
