Aglianico delle Volture D.O.C.
Aglianico del Vulture is a Lucanian red wine which, thanks to its elegant body, is called the Barolo of the south. Aglianico is a millenary vine that arrived in Italy thanks to the Greek colonists starting from the 8th century BC. At the time of Magna Graecia the vine was vinified in white; subsequently it gave rise to a red wine, ancestor of the current one. It is a wine that has been able to combine harmony and balance with its power. It is produced with grapes grown on the slopes of the volcano of the same name.
