From the Azienda Agricola I Lori, a beautiful winery located in the heart of Lazio, in Cori, 350 metres above sea level, comes Il Buono, a red IGT Lazio wine that comes from fascinating vineyards rooted in a predominantly tuffaceous soil, a legacy of past volcanic activity in the area. This soil gives the wine an unmistakable mineral character, enriching its structure and complexity. The Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and warm summers, completes the picture, favouring optimal ripening of the grapes. The sole protagonist here is Nero Buono, an indigenous Latium grape variety, whose bunches, harvested at the right degree of ripeness, undergo a classic red vinification process, with frequent punching-down and daily pumping-over. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for about 15/20 days, preserving the fruity and spicy aromas of the variety. This is followed by a period of ageing on the noble lees for about 90 days, which gives the wine complexity, structure and a persistent finish. In the glass, it surprises with its beautiful deep ruby red colour and intense garnet reflections. On the nose, it amazes with its broad, enveloping bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruit, such as blackberry, cherry and plum, interwoven with hints of black pepper, liquorice and sweet tobacco. In the mouth, it conquers for its richness and body. The tannins are elegant and well-integrated, while the marked freshness provides balance and drinkability, inviting one to take another sip.
