 Producer:
Basilisco
Region: Basilicata
DOC(G):
Aglianico
del Vulture
About the Producer:
Basilicata's Aglianico
del Vulture is one of the greatest wines of Southern Italy. The Latin
poet Horace sang its praises, but only a few have succeeded in re-establishing
its reputation as a big, luscious red wine. Paternoster
is one of the two landmark institutions that have paved the way in
this ancient and volcanic land built around the extinct Mount Vulture.
Now a third generation of talent has emerged, headed by Elena
Fucci and Michele Cutolo's "Basilisco." It is here in
township of Barile, the once flourishing barrel-producing mecca of
a past era, that the passionate Cutolo produces a limited number of
bottlings from his 8 hectares of vines. With respected wine consultant
Lorenzo Landi now on hand, the grapes generally receive late harvest
treatment and new oak, producing wines of opulence and balance.
