Buco Nero is a 100% Nero Buono from Sete Vini Naturali, a project based in Priverno, in the Province of Latina, southern Lazio. Nero Buono is a rare indigenous grape native to the Cori area of the Lepini Mountains, roughly 55 kilometers south of Rome. It is one of the most deeply pigmented red grapes in Italy, historically used as a blending variety for its anthocyanin concentration, but increasingly vinified on its own by producers focused on native varieties.
Sete sources old-vine parcels from local elderly farmers in the Amaseno River Valley, working the vineyards biodynamically with no chemical inputs. Grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 8 months on the lees in neutral fiberglass tanks, a vessel chosen to preserve freshness and primary fruit character without adding oak influence.
The wine is bottled without added sulfites, unfined, and unfiltered. On the palate, Nero Buono delivers juicy dark fruit, vivid acidity, and naturally velvety tannins with earthy, spicy depth. With age, notes of licorice and dark cocoa emerge, as the grape's natural structure allows it to develop in bottle.
Buco Nero is labeled as Lazio IGT, as the wine is made from 100% Nero Buono rather than the blended Cori DOC format, which requires Montepulciano and Cesanese alongside Nero Buono.
