Tufaliccio
Uncategorized
South of Rome, where the Lepini Mountains tumble toward the sea, the ancient town of Cori has grown vines since before the Romans raised their temples. On one particular hill — Colle Tufaliccio, rich in volcanic tuff — this wine takes its name.
Tufaliccio is 100% Nero Buono di Cori, a rare indigenous grape grown almost nowhere else on earth. For centuries it nearly vanished; the Carpineti family helped rescue it, replanting it on the volcanic slopes where it was born. Dark cherry and blackberry wrapped in Mediterranean herbs, black pepper, and a smoky mineral thread that only tuff soils can give.
