Nero Buono

Nero Buono is an indigenous grape variety of unknown origin cultivated almost exclusively within the territory of the municipality of Cori, in the province of Latina, not far from the Roman area. For this reason, it is also known as Nero Buono di Cori. It presents a bud with an expanded apex, slightly downy, bronze-green. Medium-large, pentagonal, seven-lobed leaf; flat blade with flat lobes; petiolar sinus open in a V-shape; upper lateral sinuses U-shaped, lower ones open. Medium, conical, winged cluster, rather compact or more. Medium, spheroidal berry; pruinose skin, of medium thickness, firm, color ranging from dark red to black. Variety of moderate vigor, with low but consistent production. Nero Buono has a high presence of anthocyanins, often used as a blending wine, especially in the Castelli Romani DOC.
