Spadafora D.O.P. Red Wine Fiego cl 75

The hills of Fiego, from which the name Fiegorosso originates, are a micro-area of ​​the Donnici sub-area of ​​the Terre di Cosenza PDO, where Magliocco Dolce has always been grown. The particular exposure and the unique microclimate determine a characterization in pedoclimatic and ampelographic terms; the plants are the historical ones, cultivated as sapling, with very low average yields and manual harvesting.

These elements characterize this label as a pure expression of the territory.
