    "Foragine" Rosso Basilicata IGT 2019
  • Tying a wine to its vineyard of origin is fundamental to best express the territory that produces it. And this is what happens with Vitis in Vulture's Basilicata Rosso IGT Foragine. We are located in the municipality of Lavello, in the Monte Vulture area. This Rosso Basilicata IGT is made from 70% Merlot and 30% native red grapes. Grapes grown at about 350 metres above sea level, on a medium-textured soil rich in iron and calcium. Harvesting takes place in two phases: the Merlot is picked in the first ten days of September, while the indigenous grapes are harvested approximately one month later. After destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place in contact with the skins for about 15 days in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wine matures for at least 3 months in 225-litre French oak barriques, followed by 6 months in the bottle. Intense red colour with violet hues, the nose reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet, with notes of red berry fruit. In the mouth it is velvety, with a balanced tannic structure and pleasant spicy hints. It goes well with first courses with game-based sauces, medium-aged cheeses and red meats.

    Tradition and innovation at the foot of Monte Vulture. This is the calling card of Vitis in Vulture, a reality immersed in the extraordinary volcanic landscape of Basilicata. With its 95 hectares of vineyards, the company is distinguished by the passion with which it pursues the production of typical local wines. Guiding this reality is Giuseppe Avigliano, an expert agronomist and agricultural entrepreneur, who pursues the creation of an indissoluble bond between land, vineyard and bottle. In the countryside, he mainly cultivates local vines, such as Aglianico del Vulture, an indigenous grape that represents the region's oenological excellence. Thanks to a unique terroir of ancient volcanic origin, the wines acquire a complex structure and great minerality. The heart of the business is the Finocchiaro Winery, designed by Japanese architect Hikaru Mori, a perfect example of how architectural art can integrate with winemaking tradition. The winery, modern and innovative, is designed to host not only the wine production phases but also cultural events and tastings.
