Based on the producer's published tasting notes.
Rich and aromatic: red fruit, a gentle earthy scent and a hint of spice. The colour is ruby with purple glints.
The fruit comes through clearly, with soft tannins.
Smooth and pleasing.
Bolonero blends Nero di Troia with Aglianico from the hills of Castel del Monte, at 350 to 400 metres. It ages in cement and steel tanks, and the fruit comes first.
A compact view of what the Castel del Monte denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Castel del Monte is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Castel del Monte falls within Puglia.

A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
£10.30 for a 75cl bottle of the 2022, at XtraWine, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.
