Vigna di Pettineo, is located among the most renowned districts of the Classic area of production of Cerasuolo di Vittoria D.o.c.g.. It was born from the family tradition and passion of winemaker Massimo Maggio, careful and expert winemaker, who wants to propose wines with a strong vocation of the "terroir" Ibleo.

Pettineo was a small farming village where, until the 60s, the farmers who worked their vineyards lived only as those who worked their land know how to do. From these roots comes the organic project that Massimo Maggio wants to revive in the same places loved by those women and men who have cultivated their land for centuries.

Since the 90s, the activity has been transformed into a contemporary company, where we take care of our vineyards with methods based on organic farming and always new investments in research and innovation, maintaining above all the noble vocation of this territory of wine excellence.
