Acinorè Limited Edition
A very old vine training system called «alberello» (little tree=bush vine) and a special vineyard where the plants are about 50 years old. An alive heritage that we protect and enhance. This is where Acinorè (=king of the grapes) comes from, our best expression of Primitivo.
