From Rapone to Melfi on the Aglianico del Vulture Road.

Aglianico del Vulture, a visit to the places of production

Aglianico del Vulture is a wine that demands respect. Son of the fertile lands of the Vulture volcano, it is deep red in color, full-bodied, with a strong and persistent flavor. It should not be sipped lightly, but enjoyed carefully, preferably paired with first courses, game or local cheeses. A true lord of the cellars of Basilicata.Just like a self-respecting noble lord, Aglianico del Vulture also has an impeccable pedigree: it is produced in purity, that is, 100 percent from grapes of the Aglianico vine, brought here centuries ago by the Greeks.
