The Donnici99 farm, located in Contrada Verzano of Donnici Inferiore, adheres to the national initiative and will open its doors to the public, encouraging direct contact with wine lovers. The Donnici locality has always been considered by the community of Cosenza an example of area suited for the production of agricultural products of value and in particular of wine; one of the DOC wines of the province, effectively, owes its name to the village of Donnici, in which the vineyards and olive groves of the Donnici99 farm are located. The company has become, today, a landmark for the entire area being a good example of integration between economic activity, based on the use of innovative technologies, and enhancement of the hilly landscape of Cosenza. On the occasion of Cantine Aperte, you can visit the winery, take long walks in the vineyards, enjoy the variety present within the company landscape with woods and oak woods, to the river Albicello that borders the lands of the Company.
