Donnici

Vineyards that cultivate the grapes to produce the "Donnici DOC wine" are in two areas of Calabria: Cosenza and Dipignano.

The first town lies above the rivers Busento and Crati, the older part, situated on high grounds is dominated by the Swabian Castle and the Cathedral, an architectonic and urban jewel, whilst the new town, located further in the valley clearly has a 19th century origin.

Dipignano instead was founded in the 9th century, by the Cosentine fugitives escaped from Saracen invasions. Tradition gives the town the title of "motherland of boilermakers" thanks to the highly developed copper manufacturing.

 

Donnici White derives from montolico, greco, malvasia and pecorello grapes, it has a yellow colour, fresh flavour and dry taste, harmonious and sometimes fruit flavoured. Excellent with hors d'oeuvres and sea risottos. Donnici Rose has a harmonious and fresh taste, good with salamis, soups and white meats. Donnici Red, made from gaglioppo and greco grapes, has a strong and dry taste, appropriate for roast and cheeses.
