AFRODITE
NERO DI TROIA IGT PUGLIA
THE MYTH – Legend has it that the mythical Greek hero Diomedes, after the Trojan war, set sail with his ship, loaded with stones collected from the walls of the conquered city, used as ballast, heading for the Adriatic, up to go up the Ofanto river, where it reached an ideal landing place, delimiting with those same stones, such as boundary stones, the surrounding territories, from that moment known as Campi Diomedei. On those same banks, it is said that Diomede planted those vine shoots that, as a reminder of the war campaign, he had brought with him and which later gave rise to the Grape of Troy.
