Riserva di Pietraventosa 2015

Description

RISERVA of Pietraventosa is the result of an authentic passion for wine. Unfiltered and bottled in a limited edition, RISERVA of Pietraventosa keeps the thousand souls of Primitivo of Gioia del Colle. Of an intense ruby-red shade, almost impenetrable, it reveals to smell its flavours of ripe fruits harmonically matched with hints of spices. It fills the mouth, rich and velvety, with close knits tannins well balanced with the wine richness. In its long and harmonic ending, it unveils a lingering and pleasant almond flavour.

Vineyard: Gioia del Colle

Our vineyards are located in the west of Gioia del Colle on the direction to Santeramo about 2 Km from the village center at 380 meters s.l.m. Our largest vineyard lies on the ridge of two geologic zones typical of Murgia: Calvinite of Gravina and limestone of Altamura, rich in skeleton with emerging rocks and top layer of red soil with a thickness varying from 5 to 30 cm. The geology of both areas is characterized by deep fractures, leading to the absence of water stagnations and radical rotations, minor problems of fungal attacks, reduction of plant protection requirements, however, when it is needed, occurs with foliar biological agents.The superficial skeleton also provides a thermal shade to the sun's rays, avoiding overheating of the roots during the warmer hours, resulting in the well-being of the entire plant. The hostility of the substrate naturally obstructs the excessive productivity and vigor of plants with inevitably greater concentration in the fruit. Our very large sixth plant (0.7x2m) with the presence of about 7,200 blocks per hectare allows us to produce 400-600 grams per plant while maintaining productions that, depending on the vintage, are between 30 and 45 lb / ha. Our vineyard, with north-south exposure with a dominant position over the surrounding terrains, benefits from the sunset wind effect and in fact we find it hard to find mold bumps or other fungal attacks. The name Pietraventosa is born from the union of stone and wind.
