Bold, Elegant, and Ancient by Nature.
Cincinnato “Kora” Nero Buono represents the pinnacle of Lazio’s winemaking heritage — an extraordinary expression of the ancient Nero Buono di Cori grape. Grown on the sun-drenched volcanic slopes surrounding the historic town of Cori, this wine captures the strength and elegance that define Cincinnato’s most prestigious bottling. The name Kora itself evokes the ancient Greek goddess of spring — a symbol of renewal and timeless beauty, perfectly mirroring the revival of this once-forgotten variety.
Deep garnet in colour, Kora opens with an enchanting bouquet of ripe black cherries, wild berries, and violets, layered with notes of tobacco, cocoa, and a whisper of vanilla from careful oak ageing. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined — full-bodied, velvety, and structured, with elegant tannins and a long, harmonious finish. Every sip reveals new depths, evolving beautifully as it breathes, showcasing the true nobility of Nero Buono.
Kora is not just a wine, but a statement of craftsmanship and passion. It tells the story of a territory reborn, of a grape rediscovered and perfected by the dedicated hands of Cincinnato’s growers. For wine lovers in Ireland, it offers a rare taste of authenticity — a wine that combines ancient character with modern finesse, destined for special occasions and moments worth savouring.
Why we love it:
Kora is Nero Buono at its peak — intense yet balanced, with a noble structure and lasting depth. For those in Ireland seeking rare, premium reds with real story and soul, this is a beautiful bottle to discover and share.
