'Pietrabianca' refers to the stones that rural farmers hit while ploughing the fields and, once they were crushed and ground into the soil, helped enhance the aromas and flavours of the wines grown here. After destemming, the grapes were gently crushed, and the must was transferred into stainless steel tanks to favour natural clarification. Part of the Chardonnay must was then transferred into French oak barriques where alcoholic fermentation took place, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging on the lees. The Fiano grapes and the remaining Chardonnay grapes, were fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to enhance its characteristic freshness. In January, the Chardonnay aged in barriques was transferred to stainless steel tanks, blended with Fiano and the other part of Chardonnay, then bottled several months later. The wine underwent an additional period of aging in the bottle before being released. The resulting wine is bright yellow with greenish highlights. The nose delivers tropical notes of pineapples and lychees together with hints of orange and peach blossoms.

The name ‘Susumaniello’ derives from ‘somarello’, diminutive of ‘somaro’, which translates as donkey in Italian, referring to the tendency of the vines to produce high yields when young, somewhat like an overloaded donkey.
