The Pulse of the Vineyard
As a vineyard member, you'll receive quarterly updates documenting the journey of your vines through Puglia's shifting seasons. From the first tender shoots of spring to the quiet rest of winter, witness the ancient rhythm that transforms sunlight and soil into the wines you'll eventually receive.
Awakening
Spring
As the Puglian countryside awakens from winter slumber, tender shoots emerge from ancient vines. This is the season of renewal, when careful pruning shapes the vintage to come. We’ll share the first signs of life in your vineyard, from budbreak to the delicate flowering that promises the harvest ahead.
Growth
Summer
Under the intense Adriatic sun, grape clusters swell and ripen, transforming from hard green berries into vessels of concentrated flavour. The vineyard becomes a place of constant vigilance, where each decision affects the character of your wine. Watch as your grapes develop their distinctive personality through our regular updates.
Harvest
Autumn
The most anticipated moment arrives as clusters reach perfect ripeness. Harvest is a celebration of the year’s work, where generations of knowledge meet modern precision. Experience the transformation from vine to barrel as we document the careful selection, fermentation, and early aging of your wine.
Rest
Winter
As vines enter dormancy, the winemaker’s craft continues in the cellar. This quiet season is one of patience and preparation, where young wines mature and develop complexity. We’ll share insights into the aging process and preparations for the coming vintage, completing the eternal cycle.
Masseria Pietra e Terra Wines
Susumaniello
Varietal History
Susumaniello carries the soul of ancient Dalmatia in its deep purple depths. This remarkable red varietal found its way to Puglia’s Itria Valley centuries ago, thriving in the region’s distinctive sandy soils. The name translates to “little donkey” – a charming reference to how the vines become laden with abundant grape clusters. Nearly lost decades ago, it has experienced a renaissance as passionate winemakers recognised its extraordinary potential.
Flavour Profile
Intense purple-red with striking violet reflections. Black pepper spice mingles with delicate floral notes, while red fruit whispers emerge in the finish. The wine’s substantial structure and natural balance make it ideal for aging, where time transforms its character into something truly exceptional.
Pairings
Bold tannins and complex profile make it a natural companion to Puglia’s hearty cuisine. Perfect with grilled meats and game, rich pasta sauces, earthy porcini mushrooms, and aged cheeses.
Susumaniello Rosato
Varietal History
This contemporary expression of Susumaniello represents a brilliant reinterpretation of tradition. While the red has anchored Pugliese tables for centuries, forward-thinking winemakers discovered that brief skin contact reveals an entirely different personality. The same ancient vines that produce powerful reds now yield this elegant rosato, capturing the Mediterranean essence of summer in a glass.
Flavour Profile
Luminous coral pink with copper highlights dancing in the light. Wild strawberry and white peach mingle with Mediterranean herbs – rosemary and thyme carried on sea breezes. Bright acidity balances subtle minerality, creating a wine of remarkable freshness and depth. Each sip reveals layers of red currant and citrus zest.
Pairings
An ideal companion to Puglia’s coastal cuisine. Shines alongside raw seafood, grilled octopus, and summer salads. Its versatility complements both traditional burrata and spicy arancini. Perfect for aperitivo hour or paired with light pasta dishes featuring cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs.
Ottavianello
Varietal History
Ottavianello tells a story of noble patronage and Mediterranean wandering. This elegant red varietal journeyed from Napoli to Puglia’s Brindisi region 150 years ago, brought by the Marquis of Bugnano. It crossed the sea to Corsica and southern France, where it’s known as Cinsault. While often blended, Ottavianello reveals its true character when vinified as a pure cultivar.
Flavour Profile
A gentler expression of Pugliese winemaking. Delicate red colour with pink and cherry reflections. Jasmine and geranium florals, complemented by hints of rose, vanilla, and warm cloves. Subtle persistence and elegant balance without overwhelming the palate.
Pairings
Wonderfully versatile at the table. Enhances traditional Pugliese cured meats, complements hearty vegetable soups and fresh seafood. Brings refinement to pasta dishes with meat sauces.
Fiano
Varietal History
Fiano carries a history stretching back over two millennia. Legend traces its origins to the Apuan people of the Alps, who brought their vines south before being conquered by the Romans. Fiano arrived in Puglia through royal decree in the 13th century, when Charles II of Anjou ordered 16,000 vines planted. Today, this ancient varietal expresses the unique character of Puglia’s Itria Valley.
Flavour Profile
Golden hues that speak of noble heritage. Balances refreshing acidity with surprising aromatic complexity – spicy and floral elements with ripe tropical fruits. Despite its depth, Fiano maintains an elegant lightness, appealing whether enjoyed young or aged.
Pairings
Celebrates Puglia’s coastal and agricultural abundance. Perfect with focaccia pugliese and grilled white meats. Natural acidity cuts beautifully through rich seafood. Particularly shines alongside the region’s famous octopus and potato salad.

“'Local' will always be an overarching goal, but Especially Puglia is localizing "international" impressively! Bravo!"
Masseria Pietra e Terra Red "Susumaniello" - 'This lesser known grape from Puglia deserves to be a star this Christmas. Red berry joy abounds with a subtle whisper of spice - a sunny red to pour all winter long..'
