Nero di Troia, also called Uva di Troia, is the third most important of Puglia’s native black grape vines after Negroamaro and Primitivo.
The origins of Nero di Troia are uncertain, a mixture of sparse scientific data and plenty of legends.  Its name provides the first clue, because it links to the legend of how fugitives from the destruction of Homer’s mythical city of Troy, led by the Greek hero  Diomedes, landed on the banks of the River Ofanto on the Tavoliere plain.
