Cori
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Established in 1973 within the Lazio region, the Cori DOC restricts its production zone to two municipalities, including Cisterna di Latina. This denomination distinguishes itself through a highly specific aging hierarchy: it reserves the Riserva designation exclusively for its single-variety Cori Nero Buono wines. While the base Rosso blend—requiring at least 50% Nero Buono—and the Bellone-based white wines have no minimum aging rules, the single-variety Nero Buono Riserva must age for at least 24 months starting from November 1 of the harvest year. This strict aging standard highlights the local Nero Buono grape's primary status over other regional varieties.
