Saplings that are fifty years old and older, produce small bunches that are dried for a month in wooden crates. The resulting wine ages for 12 months in small oak barrels. Complex and elegant on the nose with sensations of black cherry and licorice. In the mouth an interminable finish of cocoa and berries.

Pietrafinita is the name of this extraordinary wine that remains in the memory from the first taste, just like the "pietrafinita" or border stones, have remained for centuries.

Pietrafinita is produced in the Maruggio / Sava area. The harvest is done manually at the beginning of September. Small clusters of primitivo are placed in single-layer wooden crates for drying which lasts approximately 30 days.

At the end of the drying period, the grapes are subjected to a delicate pressing-destemming. The fermentation of the grapes lasts approximately two weeks. The resulting wine ages for 12 months in French oak barriques.

Ready wine after about 6 months of bottle aging. Duration not less than 6/7 years.
