Pietraventosa

The love for their land, the passion for wine, the desire to rediscover the noble Primitivo vine of Gioia del Colle, are the ingredients from which Agricole Pietraventosa comes to life. At about 380 meters above sea level, in the rocky countryside west of Gioia del Colle, we have planted 4.4 hectares of espalier vineyards in the spurred cordon variant, for a total of 30,000 plants with a 2 x 0 planting layout, 7 meters and an average production of 30 quintals / ha. Our sapling vineyard is not far away, just under one hectare, but extremely precious. The harvest takes place manually, selecting the bunches of each plant meticulously, without haste, following the uses and customs of the traditional harvest. Our vinifications are the result of a balanced combination of technology and tradition: the use of cutting-edge equipment naturally harmonizes with the rigorous respect for the ancient winemaking memories in order to give our wine the strong and decisive character that binds it firmly to our land.
