Cori
Cori Town, in the province of Latina is one of the many beautiful and interesting, although little known corners of Italy. Located picturesquely at a height 400 meters above sea level.m. on the slope constituting the steep end of the Monti Lepini chain, to this day it is surrounded by old cyclopean walls and polygonal walls erected by the Pelasgians, whose origin dates back to the 6th century BC. Here you can find many traces of the former glory of the Roman state, among them are the ruins of temples built in honor of Hercules, Castor and Pollux and the Temple of Minerva.
Landform, on which hills predominate, it made, that the area around Cori offers excellent conditions for the cultivation of vines and olive trees, on which the local agriculture has always been based. Cori wine production has a centuries-old tradition. However, whether it is due to the small scale of production, or the difficulty of breaking through to the Roman market for years dominated by Castelli Romani wines, the fame of this wine did not go beyond local borders.
White Cori contains a large percentage (to 30%) grapes from the Bellone strain, widespread throughout the Lazio region, but generally added to the coupage in small amounts. For the production of red Cori in addition to the classic Montepulciano and Cesanese varieties (There are as many as three Cesanese DOC wines in the region), is also used, most likely indigenous, szczep Nero Buono by Cori, whose share in the total coupage ranges from 20 do 40%.
