This historic contrada, a term used to refer a small district of the countryside, is located beyond Serra San Bartolo ridge; historically it has always produced very elegant wines thanks to a deep layer of marine sand (50-60 cm), with little presence of limestone rocks on the surface. Our Chiusa di Pettineo vines are nearly 60 years old. The wines of the Pettineo are usually fruit-driven with a more silky tannin yet possessing quite lively acidity. - Arianna Occhipinti
