List of grape varieties

Nero buono di Cori is a red wine - grape . The "good black from Cori" is grown almost exclusively in the immediate vicinity of the town of Cori . The grapes are used in the DOC wines Cori Rosso and Castelli Romani . Mostly Nero Buono di Cori is blended with the grape varieties Montepulciano and / or Cesanese Comune . Once expanded, the wine is offered as IGT wine. In 2010 the area under vines was 134 hectares.

The vineyards are at a height of 300-500 m on the slopes of the lava-covered limestone mountains of Monti Lepini . The growing area is in the province of Latina , approx. 50 km southeast of the city of Rome. The grape variety prefers well-ventilated slopes at a sufficient height. It is often rumored in Cori that Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus introduced the grape variety to the region. Well-known winemakers who offer wines made from this grape variety include the Cincinato cooperative and the Marco Carpineti and Poggio Le Volpi wineries.
