Spontaneously fermented with \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, it develops a distinctly \u003cstrong\u003earomatic and mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e profile. On the palate, it reveals an excellent balance between freshness and structure, offering a clean and vibrant sip, ideal for accompanying raw seafood, oysters, and spicy dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are located in the Cufurà and Ghirlanda districts, on steep hillside terraces. The vines are cultivated using the \u003cstrong\u003ealberello pantesco\u003c\/strong\u003e method, a practice recognised by UNESCO that requires the typical manual interventions of heroic viticulture. The \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e give the wine a pronounced savoury character. A density of 2,500 vines and a limited yield ensure rigorous selection, guaranteeing a high \u003cstrong\u003earomatic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e of the raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e with bunch selection takes place in the first days of September. After destemming and gentle pressing, the grapes undergo a cold maceration for twenty-four hours. This is followed by soft pressing and settling of the must at low temperature. Only the clear fraction starts fermentation in steel. The six-month maturation takes place between steel tanks and \u003cstrong\u003esmall barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the wine an elegant \u003cstrong\u003estructural complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e while maintaining its natural freshness and dry profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1989 as the first \u003cstrong\u003edry Zibibbo\u003c\/strong\u003e from Pantelleria, Pietranera by Marco De Bartoli represents an extraordinary oenological insight. The result of \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e practised on steep volcanic terraces in the Cufurà and Ghirlanda districts, this wine enhances the authentic vocation of the territory. The grapes are grown using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003ealberello pantesco\u003c\/strong\u003e method, a UNESCO heritage, ensuring an intense and complex aromatic profile. The 2024 vintage continues this journey, celebrating the passion of a family devoted to excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marco De Bartoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47733042217131,"sku":"62484","price":51.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/marco-de-bartoli-pietra-nera-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
