With the primary intent of creating a reality inextricably linked to their territory, Raffaele and Marianna created Agricole Pietraventosa. Both coming from working environments in sectors not strictly linked to the agricultural world, they gain their experience directly in the field. Tireless, they carry out the company by carrying out multiple business activities, from the vineyard to the cellar, as well as taking care of the administrative/accounting, sales, marketing and company promotion sectors.
Raffaele has always had the intention of following in the footsteps of his paternal grandfather, a winemaker from Brindisi at the beginning of the last century. After his graduation, he immediately worked as a designer for a company producing winemaking machinery and equipment. This allowed him to deal in depth with all the manufacturing processes used from small to large and automated companies.
In this world closely linked to traditions, but at the same time attentive to innovation, Raffaele had the opportunity to meet with many technicians from all over Italy, including Oronzo Alò, who has now become a very dear friend and company winemaker.
The attachment to their roots, the stubbornness that distinguishes them and the awareness of being able to do more to enhance the characteristics of the Primitivo bred in Gioia del Colle, where Marianna was born and lived until her wedding with Raffaele, led them to plant from 2003 to 2006 just under five hectares of vineyard and to take over another small sapling vineyard about 50 years old.
