About this wine
Grapes
The blend comprises 85% Primitivo and 15% other red varieties grown in Apulia or neighbouring regions.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed. Traditional methods are used, with alcoholic fermentation deliberately stopped when the desired residual sugar level is reached.
Ageing
The wine rests briefly in steel tanks after fermentation.
Label / history
The name Piantaferro combines pianta, meaning plant or crop, with ferro, meaning iron or rod. It refers to a local farming tradition of marking newly discovered fertile land by driving a stake into the ground. The logo depicts three stylised rows of vines, representing the fertility of the land around the Piave.
