More information on of Basilicate flavors

Basilicata, in Southern Italy, is a region whose name rarely appears in wine circles. It is best known for its red wines made from the Aglianico grape, and in particular for the Aglianico del Vulture appellation. It has only four DOCs, which collectively cover only two of every 100 bottles produced here. The remaining 98% is sold under IGT or, more likely, Vino da Tavola.

Compared to other Italian wine regions, total wine production in this region is very low: less than 50 million liters. Basilicata may not be a particularly Rich region, but it is rich in natural beauty. Its 10,000 square kilometers (3,860 square miles) of land are bordered to the North by Campania and Puglia and to the south by Calabria. Mostly landlocked, with the Ionian Sea on one side and the Tyrrhenian Sea on the other, it has beautiful mountain ranges and hills.
