Blanc de noir: the elegance of red vinified in white
The blanc de noir collection gathers labels obtained from red-skinned grapes vinified in white, an oenological choice capable of enhancing finesse, freshness, and aromatic immediacy. In this selection, you will find an original and identity-rich example from the Apulian territory, signed by Cantine Carpentiere, with a wine that interprets Nero di Troia in an unexpected and refined version.
What makes a blanc de noir wine special
A blanc de noir is made from grapes traditionally destined for reds, but processed with a white vinification, meaning minimal contact with the skins. The result is a wine with a more delicate profile, often characterized by good acidity, drinkability, and aromatic precision, while still maintaining the personality of the original grape variety. It is an ideal type for those looking for versatile, modern wines that are different from the usual, without sacrificing territorial identity.
Nero di Troia in a white vinification version
The product featured in this collection, Come d'incanto Nero di Troia 100% vinified in white Cantine Carpentiere, represents this interpretation well.

It is an interesting proposal for those who wish to discover a wine capable of uniting local roots and contemporary style, with a recognizable but more agile personality compared to traditional red expressions.
