The Pietroso winery originated in Montalcino in 1970 thanks to the passion of winemaker Domenico Berni. It all started when he wanted to pour something to drink during dinners with his friends; for that reason, he started making wine himself. After this, his goal became to produce a refined Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino.
