Bisceglia

Intense fruit and structure from Basilicata

Bisceglia wines are all about the concentration and intensity of flavour that you can find in Southern Italy today. Based in the Lavello area known for its fine Aglianico, they have 30ha of prime Basilicata real estate planted on the region's famous, dark volcanic soils. The focus is on local grapes such as Falanghina, Fiano and Aglianico, all of which pack a hefty punch of fruit.

With a state of the art cellar at his disposal, winemaker Sergio Paternoster wants for nothing in his quest to create world class wines, the current flagship of which is Italy's only Aglianico del Vulture Riserva.

Aglianico

Pronounced “ah-LYAH-nee-koe” the vines are thought to have originated in Greece. They now form the heart of red wine production in Southern Italy. Their deep colour, intense fruit, high tannins and good acidity has led some to label it ‘The Barolo of the South’.
