Nero Buono

Pietra Pinta is much more than just a winery: it’s a tale of history, territory, and passion. Located on the rolling volcanic hills of Cori (Lazio), the company is run by the Ferretti family, who have cultivated its winemaking tradition since the 19th century. The name “Pietra Pinta” refers to a local legend: during ancient battles, the stone was dyed red, a symbol of an identity rooted in history. Today, Pietra Pinta combines this heritage with a modern vision: wine production is complemented by a top-quality olive oil mill and a farm stay immersed in nature, offering an authentic experience of flavor and hospitality. The company adopts sustainable practices, with integrated pest management and complete control of the supply chain, to convey the essence of the territory in its products.

Pietra Pinta’s Nero Buono is a tribute to a native grape variety almost exclusive to the Cori area: a still, dry red wine with a strong identity. Rich in history and reborn thanks to the winery’s dedication, Nero Buono has been the subject of a true rediscovery, recognized by international awards. Pietra Pinta expertly vinifies these grapes: part of the wine ages in new barriques (about 30%), while the rest matures in stainless steel, combining structure and freshness.

An intense purple-red color, it offers a bouquet of spicy notes reminiscent of black pepper and cloves, accompanied by hints of jammy black berries. On the palate, softness and power elegantly coexist; a mouth-filling yet well-balanced sip. Perfect with traditional Lazio dishes such as chicken cacciatore, roast lamb, oxtail stew, tripe, or polenta with spare ribs.
