But one thing that Gaetano didn't have was modern agriculture. Crops were inconsistent and yields were low. Protein counts in the wheat were erratic and the finished product was often very different from the season before. The varieties of wheat he used to make pasta were summer varieties - very different from the hearty, winter-strengthened varieties now ubiquitous in pasta production. But the common thread between the past and present is the production method - the best semolina flour blended with mountain spring water, extruded through bronze dies and allowed to dry at low temperatures for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo when Gianluigi Peduzzi began partnering with local farmers in Abruzzo to resuscitate some of these nearly-extinct types of wheat - \u003cem\u003eMongibello\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eVarano \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eSan Carlo \u003c\/em\u003e- to produce pasta like his grandfather used to, we knew the results would be spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd so PrimoGrano from Rustichella d'Abruzzo was born.
