Appellation Basilicata - IGT

The "Basilicata IGT" designation is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of southern Italy, offering wines that reflect a rich viticultural tradition and a unique terroir. The Basilicata region, dominated by mountainous landscapes and a Mediterranean climate, benefits from a diversity of soils ranging from volcanic clays to calcareous clays. These exceptional conditions allow for the cultivation of varied grape varieties, including Aglianico, which is often dubbed "the Barolo of the South" due to its ability to produce ageworthy, rich, and structured wines. Basilicata's Aglianico wines captivate with their aromatic depth, offering notes of black cherry, spices, and tobacco.

In addition to Aglianico, Basilicata also produces fresh and floral white wines, primarily crafted from local grape varieties such as Malvasia Bianca and Moscato. These wines boast a lively freshness and delicate minerality. As an IGT, the designation provides great freedom for winemakers, allowing them to experiment and create innovative wines while respecting the viticultural heritage. Wine enthusiasts, whether novices or experts, will appreciate the complexity and history that each bottle of Basilicata IGT tells, offering a unique and authentic sensory experience.
