2018
The 2014 vintage, marked by anomalous climate during the growing season, was a difficult and rainy one.
Early spring was characterized by above average temperatures, creating the conditions for a bud burst which arrived a week earlier than the normal period. As the growing season followed, however, a very cool and quite rainy spring and summer slowed down the various phases of growth and development of the plants and grapes and caused outbreaks of vine diseases, above all downy mildew. With unfavorable conditions of this sort, a particularly meticulous, attentive and timely viticulture was necessary in order to preserve healthy conditions in the vineyard and grapes of real quality.
The Chardonnay for Pietrabianca was picked between the 22nd and the 28th of August, while the Fiano was harvested in mid-September with an aromatic profile and a vibrantly savory personality of much finesse and elegance.

In Italy a “Riserva” wine must be aged in oak for at least 24 months, a procedure that increases its structure and complexity, softening tannins and improving its elegance. The appellation Salice Salentino PDO, the most relevant in Salento, in its “Riserva” version is probably the most sought-after among Negroamaro lovers.
FOOD PAIRING: well-seasoned main courses, game and roast meat, cured meats and risotto with mushrooms
