Vigneti del Vulture

Consultant Alberto Antonini works with winemaker Danilo Gizzi. Alberto says coming here feels like going back a few centuries. It is a quiet, little-explored corner of Italy. The vines are trained low on the slopes of Monte Vulture, an old volcano, at up to 800 metres, and many are more than 80 years old.

Those volcanic soils give wines with a clear mineral streak and lively acidity. There are spicy, elegant reds from Aglianico, and a white blend of Greco and Fiano.
