Nero di Troia The red wine of Troia is noted for its organoleptic qualities and for its health benefits. It has been found that this wine is rich in a substance recently discovered called ‘reservatrolo’ which optimizes blood circulation and cleans the arteries, both of which are anti cancer functions. The ‘polifenolic’ components of the wine (the pigments and tannins) have anti-oxidizing abilities and are very useful for the body. After meals free radicals are often produced during the digestion process, ‘Nero di Troia’ has anti-oxidizing qualities and is exactly the substance we want in order to stop the free radicals from doing harm to the body.
After a delicious meal we can slowly sip a glass of Troia, which is a joy for the palate as well as for the digestive system. However we must not forget that over indulgence is not necessary and that the best things in life are enjoyed in moderation.
