Petrera Pasquale Di Orfino Rosa: A Winery by the Sea

Nestled in the historic region of the Peucetians, Petrera Pasquale Di Orfino Rosa is located on the rocky hills of Murgia, just 45 km from both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. This picturesque estate is a short drive from the stunning Monte Sannace, the Norman castle, and the cathedral to the northeast of Gioia del Colle.

A Legacy of Winemaking

The winery's roots trace back to the late 19th century, founded by Petrera Nicola in the fertile Spinomarino Hills of Gaudella, ideal for cultivating Primitivo grapes. Over five generations, the family has nurtured this legacy. The winery's name, inspired by Filippo Petrera's nickname, Il Fatalone, reflects its rich history. In 2003, a new cellar was established, carved into the rock and adjacent to the ancient Masseria.

The dedicated team employs manual harvesting techniques, ensuring only the finest grapes are selected for winemaking. Wine enthusiasts and those curious about organic practices will find a visit to this winery truly rewarding.
