| History |
This is a rare and very old grape variety, which has found in Samnium its ideal natural habitat, yielding wines that are a perfect expression of the terroir. It owes its name ("Piedirosso") to the peculiarities of the pedicel, which is completely red. Its bunch is medium-small and sparse with a medium-sized spheroidal berry. |
