The Masseria...the beating heart of Carvinea. Everything originates from the ancient structure in the Carovigno countryside that Beppe purchased in 2000. Pezze d'Arena is a characteristic courtyard farmhouse that belonged to the Dentice di Frasso princes which developed around a small sixteenth-century agricultural house. After a long and careful restoration, the ancient tuffs returned to their splendor in 2007. In the meantime, new vineyards are planted around the walls following very strict regulations: the land is dug up, fertilized and left to rest, then the wild cuttings are planted which will only be grafted with the native varieties after a year.
