About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Aglianico comes from a single vineyard on volcanic soils in the area of the extinct Vulture volcano, at the northern end of the mountain range crossing Basilicata. The site lies at 400 m and faces east and southeast.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Traditional red-wine vinification includes 15 days of maceration followed by fermentation.

Ageing

The wine rests for five years, including two years in oak barrels.
