LA RACCOLTA 2018

Straw yellow colour, with warm gold reflections. Intense nose, reveals aromas of honey and yellow and white flowers withered. The taste is balanced. full and pleasantly fresh, characterized by refined notes of toasted hazelnut and citrus and a long finish in which recur the mineral notes.

Cantine del Notaio, in the green heart of Basilicata, has dedicated its commitment and research to exploring the full oenological potential of Aglianico, which, in Vulture, finds its best expression due to a happy combination of temperatures, rainfall and soil due to the presence of volcanic tuff that "nurses the vines."

The company has about 40 hectares divided in particularly suitable areas of 5 municipalities of Vulture.

Extraordinary conditions for the aging of wines in ancient tufa caves dating back to the 1600s, which belonged to the Franciscan Fathers and are developed on about 1,500 square meters of underground spaces, ensuring a very high humidity, constant throughout the year.

The winery, from the scientific study of the grape variety and a recovery of ancient traditions, produces 16 different wines, 14 of which are based on Aglianico del Vulture and the others with grape varieties such as Moscato, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Fiano and Sauvignon.

The Aglianico del Vulture "Il Notaio" was awarded "Best Aglianico in the World" at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2022.
