In this selection, you will find labels that best express the character of Lucania, with a focus on Aglianico del Vulture, Rosso del Vulture, and Basilicata IGT, crafted by historic wineries and leading producers.

The Character of Vulture and Lucanian Tradition

Basilicata is a land of altitude, volcanic soils, and significant temperature variations, elements that contribute to wines of great identity. The heart of the selection is the Aglianico del Vulture, available in various interpretations: DOC, DOCG, Superiore, and Riserva. These are intense, structured, and long-lived wines, capable of uniting tannic energy, freshness, and aromatic depth.

Alongside the reds, you will also find different expressions of the territory, such as Matematico 2020 Rosso del Vulture and Verbo 2021 Bianco Basilicata IGT Malvasia, ideal for those who wish to explore more immediate or versatile nuances of Lucanian production.
