Wine Description
The name of this wine is a tribute to the ancient volcano, Monte Vulture, which defines Basilicata’s winemaking landscape. Made from 100% Aglianico, this wine is refined in stainless steel to retain the freshness and character of this indigenous variety.
Tasting Notes
Intense garnet in color with pronounced aromas of blackberries, forest and a hint of smoke. Terra di Vulcano makes an excellent aperitif, and also pairs well with pasta dishes, roast game or grilled cuts of beef.

“Italy's Finest Values”
“The 2007 Aglianico del Vulture Terra di Vulcano is rich and expressive in its dark fruit, minerals, dried herbs and espresso. It shows gorgeous juiciness in a generous, fruit-driven style. Mint, violets and minerals add the final flourish.”
