Guide to the Wines of Apulia and Basilicata - Vulture e Sassi

BASILICATA

On.le Vincenzo Viti

(Italian MP)

Agriculture Secretary SREM –Basilicata Region

Basilicata is a small and prosperous region in the south of Italy whose typical, traditional products

have been appreciated for a long time in other areas of Italy and abroad, so that the region is

identified as a centre of excellence.

It lies in what was once “Magna Graecia” between the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas, with an area

of about 10 thousand sq. kilometres and a population of almost 600 hundred thousand people.

The landscape is mainly mountainous and hilly with very fertile plains. Basilicata has a natural

uncontaminated landscape with a very low population density. Agriculture is a tradition dating

back centuries. Metaponto is the perfect example; it lies on the Ionian Sea below the Greek

temples where the great philosopher Pythagoras taught, and already in the 4th century B.C. it

was known for the quality of its dessert and wine grapes, as well as for its olives, cereals and

pulses. It was here that the hard-working inhabitants established the first organised livestock

farms.

The natural, tasty, healthy and authentic products of today derive precisely from this traditional

expertise.

When it comes to wines, “Doc Matera” is produced nowadays in Matera, the city of the “Sassi”,

capital of peasant life and Unesco World Heritage Site, while on Mount Vulture among the

picturesque lake-filled craters is produced the famous Aglianico Doc, highly praised by Horace

PRESENTATION

and considered by wine experts to be one of the world’s best wines. The Agri Valley has an

extraordinary micro-climate and terroir producing the “Terre Alta Val D’Agri” and “Grottino di

Roccanova” doc wines. Then there are also the fine igt wines produced across the whole of

Basilicata.

Our agro-food products, the Mediterranean diet, our land, history, folklore and natural beauty

spots make up a whole way of life - to taste and to experience. Basilicata has a great deal of

potential for both its red and white wines, and is therefore proceeding to re-qualify the wine

sector, which includes an increase in organic wines. The wine growing sector is considered to be

of vital importance for all the other agro-food products and for gastronomy. This is why the

Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is carrying out cohesive policies aimed at

achieving market positions and shares. Finally, it must be said that this innovative context

involving the commitment of the Authorities will also include the creation of a Regional Wine

Showcase based in the Vulture area, and with two branches: one near Matera and the other in

the Agri Valley.

The Wine Showcase will need to concentrate on valorisation and promotion of the quality wines

produced in the Region by collaborating with local public and/or private organisations. It will

promote the heritage of expertise in the wine sector, involving the production and dissemination

of informational and published materials. Promotion will need to aim at improving the quality of

Basilicata wines and encouraging synergies between wine production and the other typical agro-

food products of the Region. It will also need to encourage interaction between the wine-growers

and those involved in retail. The Wine Showcase will become vital for participation in wide-

ranging national projects and will be the fulcrum for future development of the Regional wine and

grape sector as part of wider promotion of the Basilicata agro-food sector. The Wine Showcase

will be part of a larger plan to valorise the Region and will have the task of promoting wine culture

and of achieving the potential of the area and of its other typical and traditional products.

VULTURE

AGLIANICO DEL VULTUREAglianico

BASILICATAGRAPES

WHITE GRAPES

AGLIANICO

These red grapes are used to make the most famous Basilicata doc wine: Aglianico del Vulture. The hills around the volcano, which include various towns in the Province of Potenza, are the ideal habitat for this vine which is said to date back to ancient Greek times.

CHARDONNAY

This is an imported vine, and is widely used in every region of Italy including Basilicata, where the soils and climate provide a very favourable environment for this variety.

MALVASIA BIANCA DI BASILICATA

Matera Bianco is one of the six typologies of Matera doc, and uses from 70-90% of Malvasia Bianca di Basilicata, a local indigenous white grape variety. Malvasia is used together with Greco, in quantities ranging from 10 to 30% in Matera Bianco and in sparkling wine, and from 85 to 100% in Matera Greco.

FIANO

This variety originated in nearby Campania, and has found such an ideal habitat in Basilicata that it is now part of many white igt labels.

MOSCATO BIANCO

This is a variety almost entirely used for sparkling wine. It grows in the Mount Vulture area and is used for a wine known as Moscato del Vulture.

BOMBINO BIANCO

Bombino Bianco is a variety widely used in dry white wines and also vinified when dried on the vine or harvested late. It is very widespread in Apulia and also present in many of the igt wines of Basilicata.

RED GRAPES

268

ALEATICO

This vine is used to produce a typical dessert wine which lends itself to contemplation. The vine is mostly found in the areas around Rionero in Vulture, Barile, Melfi, Maschito, Acerenza, Banzi and other towns in the Province of Potenza.

BOMBINO NERO

Known as “Bambino” or as “Buonvino” this is a vine which produces an abundance of fruits and grape must.

MALVASIA NERA DI BASILICATA

Malvasia Nera di Basilicata is a sub-variety and seems to have been imported from nearby Apulia. It has a lot of features in common with the Malvasia Nera di Brindisi variety which is very widespread in the Salento area.

MONTEPULCIANO

This was not originally a local variety in Basilicata, but it has found an excellent terroir here and is used in many igt wines.

MERLOT

The area in the Province of Potenza which includes Viggiano, Grumento Nova and Moliterno is the production area of Terre dell’Alta Val d’Agri doc. The distinguishing feature of this denomination is the international Merlot variety, which can be used – according to the various regulations – together with Cabernet Sauvignon, and for the rosé version with a very small amount of Malvasia di Basilicata.

PRIMITIVO

Primitivo is a very widespread vine variety in Basilicata, especially in the area stretching from the Province of Matera to the border with Apulia. It is a leading component in Matera doc, the most recent denomination from Basilicata, where it is used in percentages ranging from 10 to 30% in Matera Rosso doc, and from 90 to 100% in Primitivo Matera doc.

TERRE DELL’ALTAVAL D’AGRIMerlotCabernet

MATERAPrimitivoMerlotSangioveseCabernet SauvignonAglianicoMalvasia Bianca di Basilicata

Varied and unspoilt, the countryside of

Basilicata is an exciting succession of

woodlands, caves, valleys and old towns

which seem to be a very part of the

underlying rock. This has been an excellent

human habitat for thousands of years,

thanks also to the benign influence of Mount

Vulture.

The volcanic sediments of the massif, along

with clayey rocks mixed in with sand and

gravel, and the marine and river sediments

of the valley floors have made the slopes of

this extinct volcano extremely fertile.

The Aglianico vine has found ideal

conditions for growth and produces wines

which are rightly considered some of the

best reds in Italy. Aglianico wine has an

impenetrable red colour, a great structure

and ages very well.

It is the perfect accompaniment to the local

cuisine, which includes all the typical

features of the regions of southern Italy.

This cuisine has so many types of home-

made pasta; every area boasts its own

different shape of pasta, and even the basic

dough varies widely.

Sauces for pasta range from a simple

tomato sauce using tomatoes threaded on

string to ragù lucano which uses three kinds

of meat: pork, lamb and kid, with tomato

sauce.

Basilicata has a thousand-year tradition of

sausage-making. In many regions sausage

is called luganega from Lucania, the old

name for Basilicata.

Cheeses are traditional in Campania,

Apulia and Calabria, and are also a must on

tables in Basilicata homes and restaurants.

272

SASSI AND VULTURE

These are mostly made using a mixture of

milks (sheep and goat) according to

traditional methods. Other typical foods in

Basilicata are the pulses, mushrooms,

chestnuts and truffles which inspire every

kind of culinary delight.

Finally, there are the traditional sweets.

These include Sanguinaccio (pigs’ blood,

chocolate, grapes, lemon and sugar),

Lagana Chiappata (lasagne made with

cooked grape juice, walnuts, bread and

quince) and Catoncelli (chickpea purée with

cocoa).

Traditional bread also deserves a mention

here, with Pane di Matera being the height

of this ancient art. Matera is also known for

its Sassi, an old city in the walls of a gorge,

which is now protected as an UNESCO

World Heritage Site and was still inhabited

until a few decades ago.

Matera is also the name of the doc wine

created in 2005 to valorise the very varied

wine scene of this area which uses the

Aglianico, Sangiovese, Primitivo, Greco

and Malvasia di Basilicata grape varieties.

The Basilicata wine scene is completed by

going south: following the course of the

River Agri upstream, the visitor arrives in the

Agri Valley. This is where Terre dell’Alta Val

d’Agri doc was created in 2003, expanding

the range of wines made in this region by

using the so-called international varieties

like Merlot and Cabernet.

273

SASSI AND VULTURE

Teodosio Aglianico del Vulture doc 2007Grapes: Aglianico 100%Alcohol: 14%Cost: euro 15,00Bright ruby red colouring with garnet highlights. Enchanting on the nose, with exciting memories of black mulberry jam, dried figs, vanilla, flint, ink, soot and truffle. Its weighty structure is wonderfully balanced: its rich velvety smoothness is softened by fine tannins and a strong flavour. Aroma and taste correspond closely to the vine and the finish is endless. Ideal with a roast leg of pork.

The mythical basilisk is the symbol of

power and duration of this family, a

sign of its noble origins, and it also

encapsulates the history of this area.

In 1992 Nunzia Calabrese gave this

name to her farm, set in a hilly

landscape of great beauty on the

slopes of Mount Vulture.

The vineyards lie on a volcanic terrain

which slopes gently down from 450 to

300 metres above sea level. The

dominant variety is Aglianico, which

enjoys a particularly good position

here.

The charming 15th century winery

building cut into the volcanic rock is

where the grapes are converted into

wine and matured in oak barrels at a

naturally regulated temperature,

according to the local tradition.

The Consorzio Viticoltori Associati del

Vulture was founded forty years ago and

brings together smaller cooperative

wineries over a vast area of 15

townships and some old wine-growers,

who have made a big contribution to the

growth of wine production in Basilicata.

The Aglianico vineyards belonging to

the members of the cooperative all lie on

the hilly volcanic slopes of Mount

Vulture, and benefit from the excellent

soils and climatic conditions. The

president of the consortium is Luigi

Gammone and the manager is Antonio

Tamburriello. The winery has modern

equipment for the production of wine

and spumante, and the entire

production cycle is followed by the

company oenologist. It is possible to

visit the winery and buy its wines.

Since the beginning of the last century,

the Paternoster family has been

growing grapes in the Vulture area.

The third generation is now in charge

of this historic winery, following in the

footsteps of grandfather Anselmo,

who began bottling his own Aglianico

in 1925. The winery uses organic

methods and has launched a specific

line called Villa Rotondo, underlining

this environmental choice. This is also

the name of the area where the new

wine-making plant is situated, with an

exceptionally beautiful view over the

entire valley.

Wines are aged in the cellars in the

town, in the darkness and the natural

fresh temperature maintained by the

volcanic rock.

Luca and Sara Carbone grew up

alongside the vineyards and breathed

in the family passion for wine.

In 2005, they began to make wine

again, after a temporary suspension of

business in order to plant 8 hectares of

new vineyards and build a new wine-

making plant.

Their ambitious project also included

renovation of an old wine cellar in the

old town of Melfi, where there is a

shop and a sampling area for wine

tourists.

The wines mature underground at

temperature and humidity levels

which are naturally constant. The

volcanic rock walls clearly show the

layers deposited by successive

volcanic eruptions.

Twenty years ago Tenuta del Portale

was founded between Rionero and

Ripacandida in the classic area where

Aglianico del Vulture is produced. There

are 20 hectares of vineyards along a

terraced hill at an altitude of 600

metres. The care taken with the grape

harvest and the use of modern wine-

making equipment contribute to the

creation of a quality production based

exclusively on unblended Aglianico.

Filomena Ruppi, who is at the head of

the business, has years of experience in

oenology, and has decided to

concentrate on this variety with its

strong history and tradition. One of the

winery’s three wines - Le Vigne a

Capanno - recalls a very old cultivation

system used in the area. It is possible to

The Giuratrabocchetti family has a long-

standing passion for wine-growing which

has been passed down from father to son.

This led to the establishment of Cantine

del Notaio in 1998, founded and still

managed by Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti,

who has a degree in Agricultural Science.

Together with his wife Marcella he has

risen to the challenge of enhancing the

Aglianico del Vulture variety he grows in

his vineyards on the slopes of Mount

Vulture. The winery combines tradition,

innovation, history and culture in order to

complete a wide-ranging research project

regarding the potential of this austere but

generous vine, one of the most important

in southern Italy. Visitors will enjoy

visiting the winery and seeing the 17th

century caves in the volcanic rock which

are used to house the barrels of wine.

Casa Vinicola D’Angelo lies in the classic

area of Aglianico del Vulture production

and can be considered one of the historical

wineries of this region. It was established

eighty years ago and is now headed by

Donato D’Angelo - the third generation of

his family - who is always very concerned

with improving the quality of his wines by

following every stage of the production

cycle. The particular terrain and climatic

conditions of this area, the position of the

vineyards on the hills, cold winters and mild

summers with substantial variations in

temperature are all factors which reinforce

the structure, complexity and intensity of

the Aglianico bouquet. Production

concentrates almost entirely on this variety

of grape and reaches both the Italian and

international markets. It is possible to visit

an excellent wine-growing area. The

new winery building was finished

recently, and for Francesca Grieco and

culmination of a project started in 2001

with the establishment of this small but

significant winery. They follow all the

stages of production very closely and

rely on a well-known oenologist to

ensure high quality. The winery

building is where the entire production

cycle takes place. It dominates the

inspiration for most of the wines made

in this winery. It is possible to visit the

The Sasso family has a long tradition of

wine-growing dating back to 1925. In

the 1990s a new venture was

launched - Eubea - a tribute to the

Greek navigators who originally

brought Aglianico vines to Basilicata.

The main objective is to optimise the

quality of the wines from the existent

organic vineyards on the Pian di Carro

estate at Barile and the Celentino

estate near Ripacandida.

Owner Eugenia Sasso has managed to

put her ideas into practice in a

relatively short time, concretising the

passion inherited from her wine-

grower grandfather and oenologist

father.

vineyards mostly concentrated in the

countryside near Venosa. The winery

has the latest technology and great

Regio Cantina was founded in 2003

near Venosa, in a beautiful historical

area, a place where hard work and

enthusiasm transform high quality

grapes into excellent wines. The

winery is headed by Paolo Zamparelli,

and has vineyards which extend into

the areas around Venosa and Maschito

on the slopes of Mount Vulture. This is

where Aglianico finds the perfect soil

and climate which allow it to grow and

express itself to best advantage in a

wide range of labels.

The winery building is an interesting

place to visit because it is an old

farmhouse with a good view of Mount

Vulture, an extinct volcano.

wines mature in oak casks are cut

directly into the volcanic rock.
