Founded in 1947 by a group of farmers with the aim of transforming and marketing the members’ productions as well as promoting the progress of local agriculture. Named after the ancient Roman senator and farmer from the area, Cincinnatus is a perfect example of a well-run co-operative winery that is an excellent source of high-quality, inexpensive wines. This small co- operative (126 growers, with a total of 618 acres of vines), located an hour south-east of Rome near the town of Cori, uses rare native grape varieties such as Bellone and Nero Buono to produce flavorful, distinctive, well-made wines at very tempting prices, working with respect for the environment and nature, while maintaining a leading role in the transformation of the grapes of the entire area.
