Puglia is Italy's largest wine-growing region, and when someone takes care of a few vines over fifty years old, it's a bit strange, like an oasis in the desert. Gianfranco Fino is also called “the geriatrician of the vines” by his friends. He is a full-time agronomist who earns his income as a consultant, especially for olive growing. I also got to know and appreciate Gianfranco through this area of expertise. But it seems that vines and wine are even more fascinating than olives and their delicious oil. When Gianfranco was offered these ancient vines, he couldn't resist, as he immediately realized that there was unprecedented potential in them. His vines are not those modern new varieties with large yields, but consist of an old clone with loose grapes, which are also small-berried and thick-skinned. As a result, the two wines he produces today have little to do with what is commonly understood as Negroamaro and Primitivo. The most astonishing thing about these wines is their multifaceted diversity, which, in addition to the opulence and abundance, unfolds to its full potential. The elegant breed is also enchanting and last but not least, the nobility should be mentioned, which is rather rare in these latitudes.
