Basilisco
Basilisco produces wines from Basilicata, a region in Southern Italy known for volcanic soils and the indigenous Aglianico grape. The winery's portfolio centers on Aglianico del Vulture, a wine of structure and depth that reflects the mineral character of the volcanic terrain. Basilisco's Aglianico del Vulture Superiore and Teodosio—both made from Aglianico—represent the winery's focus on this single variety. The wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. Aglianico itself is a late-ripening grape with natural tannin and acidity, capable of aging and developing complexity. In Basilicata's volcanic context, it produces wines with dark fruit, earth, and mineral notes characteristic of the region's terroir.
