The PietraPura range is the result of the shared objectives of making the most of the native vines of the Salento area and of creating wines that express the very best of the terroir. Rocca delle Macìe has combined experience and expertise to create three different types of wine using Primitivo and Negroamaro grapes, which are vinified and bottled in the Puglia Region, under the watchful eye of the Zingarelli family’s chief winemaker, Luca Francioni.
The Primitivo grapes of this wine come from selected vineyards located in southern Puglia, where the traditional Alberello basso vine training method is employed.
At the end of XIX century, Francesco Rocca started his historical business by bulk wine. In 1936 his son Angelo enhanced the wine production and built up a cellar in Nardò, Apulia. In the 1960’s, Ernesto Rocca, Angelo’s son, bought the first bottling line and started the distribution of products under the Rocca brand. In 1999, infatuated with Apulia and vines, he bought a farm in Leverano, in the heart of Salento.
In 2009, Rocca Family becomes the major shareholder of the historical winery Dezzani in Piedmont realizing new commercial and productive synergies. Paolo, Marco, Luca and Matteo (Ernesto’s sons), sharing duties and responsibilities, run the family’s business, which includes also a building company and a leading trot horse stud farm.
“5 VITE” stands out for its extraordinary harmonious taste resulting from the complementarity of each grape varieties: the soft elegant tannins of Negroamaro, the dense texture of Nero di Troia and the delicate aroma of Malvasia Nera, blend perfectly with the authentic fruitness of Primitivo and the aromatic intensity of Susumaniello.
