Wine & Spirits
Along with its scents of dates and chestnuts, this ripe, black-fruited wine packs an explosion of spice. The finish bristles with tannins and refreshing acidity, making the intensity of the wine feel dynamic and complete. Enjoy its youthful energy now with a steak, or cellar it to let the structure mellow.

Wine Spectator
Richly aromatic, with cedar, spice box and smoke notes. This structured red is balanced and accessible overall, with a core of spiced plum, wild strawberry, seared mushroom and chocolatecovered espresso flavors persisting on the finish. Drink now through 2024.

The Bisceglia (pronounced: be-SHAYL-yah) estate is an important and dynamic winery offering a range of top-quality products. After many years in the corporate food industry, Mario Bisceglia returned to his land to begin this adventure and founded the estate in 2001. His goal is to continually produce world-class wines made with both indigenous and international varietals grown in the Basilicata region. The Bisceglia estate is situated on the lower slopes of the extinct volcano, Mount Vulture, in the splendid district of Lavello. This old farming community is officially recognized as “Wine Town” in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy. The winery itself was designed by internationally acclaimed architects Hikaru Mori and Domenico Santomauro, and has state-of-the-art winemaking facilities and aging cellars. The estate extends over pristine hillsides rich in flora and fauna, characterized by a Mediterranean mesoclimate. A natural balance of temperature shifts characterizes this terroir, conferring remarkable fertility to calcareous and clay loam soils. Bisceglia comprises forty hectares of vines in the heart of the Aglianico del Vulture DOCG appellation, which include local varieties – Aglianico, Moscato and Fiano – as well as a selection of international vine varieties.
