- Pinella is an ancient variety with a rich history dating back to the 13th century, prominent along the Adriatic coast.
- It finds mention in the statutes of the city of Vicenza as early as 1264. Interestingly, contemporary producers often opt for the name Pinello instead of Pinella.
- Reflective of its compact, small bunches, its name likely originates from “pigna” or “pugno,” meaning “pine cone” or “fist,” akin to many other grapes with similar cluster formations.
Pinella wine delights the senses with a delicately aromatic bouquet, redolent of sweet spices and the subtle fragrance of jasmine blooms. On the palate, it dazzles with its brightness and freshness, revealing tantalizing hints of pineapple and crisp apple, culminating in a refreshing and uplifting experience.
