    D'Angelo, Italy
    D’Angelo is one of the most historical wineries from Basilicata, a small southern Italy region born in 1920. The estate was founded by the current owners’ great-grandfathers, Erminia and Rocco D’Angelo. They inherited the love and passion for the Aglianico del Vulture and their land from their father, Lucio—a journey into the world of winemaking that spans over four generations of the family. They have 25 hectares of vineyards at the feet of the extinct volcano Vulture and make 250.000 bottles yearly.

    Making its home in the mountainous southern Italy, Aglianico is a bold red variety that is late to ripen and often spends until November on the vine. It thrives in Campania as the exclusive variety in the age-worthy red wine called Taurasi. Aglianico also has great success in the volcanic soils of Basilicata where it makes the robust, Aglianico del Vulture. Somm Secret—The name “Aglianico” bears striking resemblance to Ellenico, the Italian word for "Greek," but no evidence shows it has Greek ancestry. However, it first appeared in Italy around an ancient Greek colony located in present-day Avellino, Campania.

    Inhabiting the arch of Italy’s boot, this southern, mountainous region has a relatively small amount of vineyard area under vine. Basilicata has one DOCG for its prized red grape, Aglianico, Aglianico del Vulture Superior, which is limited to the slopes of an extinct volcano. The best whites are made of Malvasia bianca.
