In the area of \u200b\u200b Cori, on a mound to the south-east of Rome, not far from the Castelli Romani , develops about 50 hectares this interesting company. Conducted by Marco Carpineti only for almost 20 years, is the typical volcanic soil of the area and there are cultivated varieties typical distribution area: Bellone, Archpriest White (biotype Bellone) Puntinata Malvasia, Trebbiano Moro Yellow Greek and Greek for Good Black and white , Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Cesanese for the Reds. It produces about 100,000 bottles in biological system with a very broad proposal that includes a rose by Nero Buono, a sweet made Archpriest White, a classic method Bellone and a single variety grappa based Nero Buono. So there is something for everyone.
This Dithyrambus is the company's flagship red. It comes from the oldest vines and planting density and higher is a good blend of Montepulciano and Nero (60-40%). 2 years ago in wood barrels and other dimensions of age for the first few months in bottle.
It has a dense ruby \u200b\u200bred with slight purple, almost impenetrable and great consistency. It sticks to glass slides and fat and rich. Nose initially very woody, vanilla, chocolate, toast, butter. Then gradually opens up and come out the typical fruity notes of black cherry, black cherry, plum, forest floor. Then sweet spice and a certain ethereal note. The mouth is
perfectly to the expectations, with a soft and warm, yet elegant tannin. Good persistence. Perhaps lack some component that takes the balance further. Excellent, still a small step and it deserved 4 stars .
