Basilicata, located in southern Italy, is a wine region gaining recognition for its distinctive and quality wines. Dominated by vineyards nestled between mountains and valleys, the region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot summers, ideal for vine cultivation. The main recognized appellation in Basilicata is the DOC Aglianico del Vulture, renowned for its intense and full-bodied red wines made from the Aglianico grape. The volcanic terroir of Mount Vulture imparts unique characteristics to the wines, with rich aromas of red fruits, subtle spices, and a marked tannic structure. As they age, these wines develop remarkable complexity with notes of tobacco and chocolate. In addition to Aglianico, Basilicata also produces fresh and pleasant white wines, notably from the Greco grape. Viticulture in Basilicata is characterized by a deep respect for local traditions, with increasing attention to ecological and sustainable practices. Less touristy than other Italian regions, Basilicata offers wine enthusiasts an authentic adventure through its vinicultural products deeply rooted in the local terroir and culture.
