Ercole is named after the Temple of Hercules (I sec. a.C.), which archeological remains enrich Cori’s heritage. Obtained with Nero Buono, an ancient indigenous variety with a millennial tradition recovered and relaunched by Cincinnato thanks to research and testing which have documented its particular qualitative characteristics.
Low yields per hectare, selection of the grapes and a long refining in oak barrels make this wine original and exclusive.
Nero Buono
Perfectly ripe grapes with approx. 22% of sugar; soft pressing and destemming; fermentation with the skins for about 12 days at 23°C; malolactic fermentation.
In french barriques for 12 months; refining in bottle for 8 months; to be tasted after at least two years of ageing.
Alcohol content: 13.5 % vol.
Intense ruby red color; harmonic and persistent nose; dry, full bodied palate with scents of wild berries, and a cocoa note at the end.
Perfect with rich and tasty dishes, meat, and mature cheese.
