The "Chora Rosso" from the winery L'Acino is a Calabrian wine made from the grapes of the indigenous red grape variety Magliocco. It is a label with a craft flavor, created with the desire to showcase the most authentic, genuine, and sincere face of quality Calabrian wine, in its maximum expressive integrity.

The winery L'Acino is a new reality in the landscape of Calabrian wine and was born with the precise intent of rediscovering and giving voice to the millenary tradition of one of the lands with the most ancient winemaking vocation of our peninsula. The production is aimed atthe enhancement of the historical grape varieties of the area and the creation of wines with a straightforward and genuine character. The eleven hectares of vineyards are managed by adhering to the principles of biodynamics, fully respecting the harmony between the vineyard and the surrounding nature. All winemaking processes are oriented towards minimal human intervention and maximum enhancement of the varietal characteristics of the grapes.

The "Chora Rosso" L'Acino is a wine that originates on the Tyrrhenian side of the Calabria coast, from Magliocco vineyards cultivated at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, using only indigenous yeasts. Before bottling, the wine rests in steel tanks for about ten months. In the glass, it presents itself with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it expresses a bouquet characterized by aromas of ripe red fruit, floral nuances, and delicate spices. The sip is juicy and smooth, with a crunchy fruit and a lively tannic texture. The finish is balanced, with good persistence and freshness.
