While the wines of Basilicata may be lesser known than those of, say, Piedmont, Tuscany, and Sicily, they're no less notable. Volcanic soils, high-altitude vineyards in well-ventilated positions, and the vast day and night temperature range ensure healthy and fragrant grapes that beget pleasant territorial wines.
Red wines comprise 80% of Basilicata's production, with the Aglianico del Vulture grape being the region's undisputed star. The Superiore version gives life to Basilicata's only DOCG, and the grape also produces interesting rosé and sparkling wines.
