Story and Longevity
PIETRAFINITA is a Primitivo di Manduria DOP that embodies the power of the territory. The grapes come from bush-trained vines over half a century old, located between Maruggio and Sava. The long skin contact (about two weeks) and the 12-month aging (initially in steel and then in small oak barrels) give the wine remarkable complexity. It is a structured red, with notable acidity and tannins, which grant it an **estimated lifespan of no less than 15-20 years**, making it perfect for cellaring.
