The Roots Piennolo is the tomato like it used to be: a cluster of Monte Somma tomatoes hand-tied, to hang in the kitchen or pantry. The plants grow on the slopes of Monte Somma–Vesuvius, on sands and lapilli that give the fruit natural sweetness, lively acidity, and an unmistakable mineral vein. At the end of summer, the tomatoes are harvested one by one, chosen among the healthiest, and intertwined with food-grade twine according to rural tradition.
We chose the Roots Piennolo because it symbolizes how we like to work: authentic territory, ancient gestures, clear taste. The tied piennolo is a preservation method that needs nothing but good tomatoes, air, and time: the flavor concentrates, the sweetness grows, the mineral part remains prominent.
